Preventing Suicide in the Health Care Workforce

The workforce is health care’s most precious resource. Hospitals and health systems are committed to creating a culture of psychological safety and support and to improving access to behavioral health screenings, referrals, and treatment when the workforce needs it, but keeping up with best practices can be daunting.

This session will provide an overview of AHA’s new workforce mental wellbeing guide, Suicide Prevention: Evidence-Informed Interventions for the Health Care Workforce. We will take a deep dive into the three drivers of suicide — stigma, limited access to behavioral health resources and treatment, and job-related stressors — and the 12 evidence-informed interventions that leaders can implement to better support the mental wellbeing of their workforce and reduce suicide risk.
