New on the Blog! Suicidality: Patient Engagement and Intervention
Encountering patients who express suicidal ideation can be unsettling and difficult. How do you know which interventions to make? At what point do emergency services need to get involved? How can you support your patients through their most difficult moments in the least invasive and traumatizing way? Beyond triaging patients who disclose suicidal ideation, how do you identify patients who may be at risk for suicide but are not (yet) willing to disclose such thoughts to you?
