This 2-PART workshop is designed for developing a common approach and language to suicide prevention through a map of best practices to guide care delivery and communication with colleagues, consumers, and their supports. Participants will join a facilitated learning space to engage with others and based on specially designed video modules taught by clinical and lived experience faculty to explore strategies and approaches for working with youth experiencing suicidal distress. These videos teach, demonstrate, and prompt group interaction around applying suicide prevention best practices day to day with those at risk and their supports. Discussion will be encouraged as part of the learning. 

This workshop will be split into 2 days : May 12th and May 14th
