Academy The Zero Suicide Academy™ is a two-day training for senior leaders of health and behavioral health care organizations that seek to dramatically reduce suicides among patients in their care. Using the Zero Suicide framework, participants learn how to incorporate best and promising practices into their organizations and processes to improve care and safety for individuals at risk. Zero Suicide faculty provide both interactive presentations and small group sessions, and collaborate with participants to develop organization-specific action plans. The Zero Suicide Academy is presented by EDC, Inc “The Zero Suicide Academy grew
out of a rising interest by health care organizations to
learn how to provide better care for those at risk for
suicide. The tools exist to improve care for those
struggling with suicide, and there is evidence that a
comprehensive approach works,” said Julie Goldstein
Grumet, Director of Prevention and Practice at SPRC
“Suicide is preventable, and health care systems need
to embrace and work towards the aspirational goal of
preventing ALL suicide deaths for patients in their
care.” Quick Guide to
