EDC Zero Suicide Institute Global Forum: Transforming Systems to Save Lives
In an all-day virtual Global Forum on November 16 (10:30–7 ET), EDC’s Zero Suicide Institute will spotlight innovative strategies to propel progress in achieving safer suicide care in health care settings. The Global Forum will be held in partnership with Behavioral Health Tech, Zero Suicide Alliance in the U.K., and Zero Suicide Institute of Australasia.
Designed for health care professionals, health care system leaders, and health plan leaders, the Global Forum is also open to the wider public. While the Global Forum is free of charge, advance registration is required (complete the registration form here).
“We are excited to convene health care leaders to learn about new breakthroughs in suicide care and network with each other,” said Dr. Julie Goldstein Grumet, EDC vice president and director of the Zero Suicide Institute. “Around the world, leaders are saving lives by tackling systemwide change to improve suicide care.”
During an in-person-only part of the Behavioral Health Tech conference held at the Biltmore Waldorf Astoria in Phoenix, AZ, Dr. Goldstein will moderate the panel, “Transforming Health Care to Improve Suicide Prevention: Activating the Levers.”
