INNOVATIONS THAT WORK Two hours into her daily shift as a crisis line counselor, Maria received a text message from a desperate 12-year-old girl. Anxious, depressed and alone, Janna had swallowed a bottle of her mom’s prescription meds but regretted it 15 minutes later. Maria quickly and calmly developed a rapport with Janna, gained her trust and sent help to Janna’s home. A short time later, Janna was found on the bedroom floor barely conscious, her cell phone used to reach out lying next to her.
We saved Janna’s life.
• Collaborative research and evaluation move the field to constantly improve and save lives.
FIRST RESPONDER COLLABORATIONS • The LAPD is diverting 9-1-1 callers in suicidal or emotional crisis to speak to our counselors – rather than sending a patrol unit – when there is no immediate danger to self or others. • FBI agents and LAPD SWAT Crisis Negotiation Teams take shifts on the Crisis Line to help callers at risk and keep their suicide prevention skills sharp. • Firefighter and Law Enforcement Trainings focused on suicide de-escalation and intervention. • First Responder Support Groups to promote self-care and prevention.
BEST IN EDUCATION SUICIDE PREVENTION IN A VIRTUAL CLASSROOM Remote learning in response to COVID-19 presented new challenges for identifying students at risk for self-harm or even suicide. To meet this need, we designed just-in-time suicide prevention trainings for teachers.
