With youth mental health in a state of crisis, do you have a consistent, evidence-based approach to screening pediatric patients for suicidal thoughts and behaviors? If a patient’s risk for suicide surfaces during their visit, are you ready to provide the latest evidence-based interventions?

Pediatric-focused practitioners are increasingly being called upon to respond to children and adolescents in their practice setting who are struggling with suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Navigate this issue with our expert-led PNCB recorded webinar that focuses on the evidence-based response including prevention strategies, evidence-based suicide screening, assessment, and intervention (Patient Safety Plan) for children and adolescents during routine visits. Pamela Lusk, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FAANP, FAAN is your guide for this timely critical topic.

Learning objectives for this webinar include:

1. Describe the prevalence, inequities, risk, and protective factors for suicidal ideation and behavior in children and adolescents.
2. Describe the AAP / AFSP (American Academy of Pediatrics / American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) 2022 Blueprint for Youth Suicide Prevention guidelines for universal screening for suicide risk in youths 12 years and older.
3. Describe the steps of using validated evidence-based screening tools, follow-on assessments, and interventions based on the patient’s level of suicide risk.
4. Identify toolkits and resources that increase suicide prevention readiness and safety planning in your daily practice with children and adolescents.
