Non-behavioral health nurses will be trained to better assess, evaluate, and treat or refer suicidal patients with whom they come into contact, according to a Sept. 25 Hackensack Medirian news release. The initial phase will serve as a baseline for the expanded training of thousands of nurses across the system by 2025.
The program is being launched with a $100,000 grant from the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children’s Mental Health and a partnership with The Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
