Description and Learning Objectives

Description

This evidence‑based course prepares pediatric clinicians to reduce youth suicide risk through effective, family‑centered lethal means counseling. The activity highlights why access to highly lethal methods—especially firearms—matters during brief, impulsive crises and provides practical strategies for integrating secure storage counseling into routine care and higher‑risk encounters. Through real‑world scenarios and clear communication tools, learners gain confidence in discussing secure storage of firearm and medication as part of a comprehensive suicide prevention approach.

Explain why reducing access to highly lethal suicide methods, especially firearms, can prevent suicide deaths.
Describe how counseling on access to lethal means is part of a comprehensive suicide prevention strategy.
Communicate more effectively with families about routinely reducing youths' access to firearms and dangerous medications, and about taking further steps if a patient has suicidality or is struggling with behavioral health issues.
