Rationale Trainee suicide remains a top concern in UME and GME. In this interactive session, we explore the use of an innovative suicide-prevention strategy that provides individual support and a wellness dashboard supporting continuous quality improvement of wellness policies and resources.
The Three-Step Theory of Suicide holds that suicide is the result of a combination of (1) pain (typically psychological), (2) hopelessness, and (3) a lack of connectedness. This suggests that successful suicide-prevention interventions would work by reducing pain, by reducing hopelessness, and/or by increasing a sense of connectedness.
