WEBINAR | Enhanced Suicide Response: Spectrum Health’s Community Focused Approach

Jody Sprague, LMSW, Program Manager for School-Based Suicide Prevention and Lindsay Parker, Program Manager for Suicide Prevention and Behavioral Health Strategy, Spectrum Health.  In response to rising suicide rates over the last two decades, many healthcare systems have implemented programs to identify and address suicidal risk among their patients. In this webinar, leaders from Spectrum Health share their innovative suicide prevention program, Blue Envelope: A Suicide SAFE Team Response, that was developed and enhanced to build a community approach to suicide prevention through improved patient care, employee interventions, and school-based protocols.  Participants learn the history of how this program was developed, it’s successful outcomes, promising data, challenges experienced, lessons learned, and powerful results.
