In collaboration with the Behavioral Health Training Partnership we are pleased to offer suicide care trainings for mental health professionals and health care providers supporting individuals who may be at risk of suicide. These unique training opportunities are made possible through grant funding from the Department of Health Services to promote best practice and evidence-based techniques in recognizing, assessing and managing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Interested participants must be practicing in Wisconsin.
Training access instructions will be emailed to registered participants one week prior to the training. If you have not received your email, please email bhtp@uwgb.edu or Joanne tulachkj@uwgb.edu.
