Course Description:
Equip your non-clinical BIT and case management staff to identify and assess an individual’s risk related to suicidal ideation.
Participants in this course will learn how to triage risk related to suicide using the Non-Clinical Assessment of Suicide Tool (NAS). The NAS relies on evidence-based risk and poses factors to help non-licensed professionals triage the overall risk for suicide an individual poses. The instructors in this course will provide an overview of how to identify an individual who may be experiencing suicidal ideation, strategies for asking about suicide in a 1:1 appointment, and in-depth teaching of the NAS as a suicide assessment tool. Additionally, participants will learn how to make an effective referral to clinical mental health services and deploy appropriate interventions based on the level of risk assessed using the NAS.
In this course, you will learn:
- How to identify an individual who may be experiencing suicidal ideation.
- Common risk and protective factors for suicide.
- How to administer the NAS in an interview through narrative, structured questions with individuals exhibiting a range of concerning behaviors related to suicide.
- How to make an effective referral to clinical mental health services and deploy appropriate interventions based on the level of risk assessed using the NAS.

- BIT/CARE team members
- Case Managers
