Youth in juvenile justice settings (e.g., probation, detention) are at increased risk for suicide attempts. Join us for a review of current best practices and a description of a current initiative to develop a Zero Suicide toolkit for Texas juvenile justice settings. Zero Suicide is a movement in healthcare settings outlining the aspirational goal of eliminating suicide of individuals involved in healthcare settings. We aim to adapt elements of this model to support juvenile settings and develop tools to support organizational change. Please join in this interactive discussion to identify the needs, gaps, and opportunities to meet this goal.
