Design a Suicide Care Pathway for Your System
A Suicide Care Pathway guides a system’s response and outlines the care an individual at risk can expect to receive. Because every organization’s pathway will look different, this guide offers a starting point for creating an approach that fits your system. A clear pathway helps teams align their response and create greater consistency across the care experience. Use the guide to connect your policies, protocols, and available services in support of safer, more coordinated care through Zero Suicide.
