SUMMARY:Suicide: Screening\, Prevention\, and Response 2026 Training Dates
DESCRIPTION:Suicide: Screening\, Prevention\, and Response 2026 Training\nDates\nThe first step in effective suicide prevention is to identify someone in need of help. Asking three to six simple questions can help determine whether someone needs help and if immediate action is needed.

Participants also review current national and Rhode Island statistics on suicide; learn risk factors\, warning signs\, myths and facts and local Rhode Island resources. Participants will have the opportunity to practice using the C-SSRS Screener in a safe supportive environment through the use of video demonstrations\, case studies and role plays. \n2026 Training Dates:  \nApril 30th: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nNovember 13th: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nFor more information and to register\, visit www.bradleyhospital.org.
