Description
This Continuing Medical Education (CME) activity is designed to enhance healthcare professionals' knowledge and competence in the identification, assessment, management, and prevention of suicide among patients across different healthcare settings. Suicide remains a major public health concern and is often preventable through timely recognition of risk factors, comprehensive psychosocial assessment, and appropriate intervention. The session will review the epidemiology of suicide, risk and protective factors, warning signs, evidence-based suicide risk assessment tools, crisis intervention strategies, safety planning, and referral pathways. Participants will also discuss the legal and ethical considerations in suicide care and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in improving patient outcomes.
