Program Description:
|
|
This workshop will explore several aspects of
the Garrett Lee Smith Suicide prevention grant
project that are relevant to mental health
providers, insurance companies, government
agencies and families. The workshop will begin
with an overview of the project with a focus
on barriers faced by medical providers. Ideas
on how mental health providers can better
partner with the medical community will be
emphasized. It will then define screening for
suicide risk: We will discuss the role that
risk and protective factors play in screening,
and address the current state of
evidence-based practice regarding screening in
primary care, the community and mental health
settings. We will discuss reasons why it is
believed to be beneficial. In addition, we
will discuss the controversy about whether
screening is an effort of drug companies to
make money by increasing prescriptions rates
for antidepressant medication and other
conflicts of interest. Finally, we will
review the current understanding of
empirically supported treatment for youth
suicide and related problems. |
