Mitigation of Acute Risk of Suicidal Acts
People at risk of suicide are often seen in health care settings, and health care organizations have a unique opportunity to identify and facilitate suicide prevention. Although there are long-standing clinical best practices, gaps still exist. Suicide Risk Formulation (SRF) is a process by which a clinician forms a judgment about a patient’s foreseeable risk of suicidal behavior based on data collected from a Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA). Risk formulation may indicate that enhanced interventions and increased support may be needed. Treatment should focus on reducing the immediate suicide risk and exploring any underlying mental-health and/or substance-use disorder. This activity is designed to support health care professionals through risk-mitigation situations by providing an advanced continuing education opportunity to improve practice, skills and knowledge.

Building Resilience
The daily stressors associated with providing care can often lead health care professionals (HCPs) to feel emotional exhaustion, decreased empathy, reduced effectiveness, decreased work-related fulfillment and a lack of accomplishment. This activity will provide HCPs with individual and organizational strategies to increase resilience (the ability to cope with and recover from difficult experiences) and proactively respond to challenging situations, both of which can improve mood and mental health and increase joy and satisfaction in daily health care practice. It will also describe individual and team-related traits necessary to develop resiliency and discuss preventive measures to counteract burnout.
