September 8 call for behavioral health service providers: Preventing suicide, what we know and what we can do

Information about providing prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support services during the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. The Health Care Authority's Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) will host a bi-monthly webinar to update behavioral health providers and stakeholders.

September is suicide prevention month. Our next call will focus on suicide ideology during COVID-19. Our panelists will give high level information about what we know and what we can do to prevent suicide. Time for questions and comments will be available.

We hope that you find these calls useful and remember to take care of yourself as well as those you serve.
