Virtual

SPTS developed and piloted Adolescent Clinical Training for Suicide Prevention (ACTS), an innovative training model that empowers healthcare providers, including nurses, with the unique capability to support adolescents at risk of suicide.

In this 90 minute virtual training, our goal is to have professionals feel more confident and clinically competent to have these conversations with the young people they are caring for.

We will be focused on increasing understanding on:
  • Crisis Theory
  • Youth suicide and the characteristics of suicidal thinking that can help nurses organize the conversation & interventions
  • Understanding of warning signs, risk factors and protective factors.
  • How to determine risk, and when to respond and refer

You, as a medical professional, have an organically trusting and powerful relationship that can make a difference in the lives of your youth. We appreciate you and recognize the role you play in impacting change. This training is designed to not only provide the information, but to empower each professional to use and practice the skills learned each day with their patients while giving them the tools to do the work more effectively.
