We have developed a screening tool called the Badge. The purpose of the Badge is to have non-clinical staff to be able to screen all our community members when they first engage in services. This tool gives a clear pathway for our community members who screen in with suicidal ideation (or at moderate risk) or as suicidal (or immediate risk). Our non-clinical staff can easily connect them to a trained therapist to receive the needed care for this community member quickly. Our staff have been trained on how to use the Badge and the newly created policies and procedures improving our care when we encounter our members who need immediate help.

We are currently working on implementing our Caring Messages. This is a better way to communicate with our community members on a regular basis or in an encouraging way through culturally sensitive postcards.

We are currently working on a framework for our postvention services, which is how we respond to the completed suicides in our care or in our community.
