Health Care
Health care includes a variety of settings, including primary care practices, hospitals, emergency departments, behavioral health care, and substance abuse treatment facilities. All of these settings can play an important role in suicide prevention by identifying suicide risk and providing effective care. As physical health problems can also increase suicide risk, providing care for illnesses, substance use disorders, and chronic health problems may also help protect individuals from suicide.
