ReDiscover's Show Me Zero Suicide
ADULT SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAM

Suicide Is 100% Preventable

The Show Me Zero Suicide Initiative is a collaboration among behavioral health providers to drastically reduce suicides and suicide attempts in adults ages 25 and older by focusing on prevention and early intervention. The initiative has a special emphasis on clients who are at higher risk for suicide.

How Does the Program Work?

1. At the request of a hospital or in response to a crisis call, the Show Me Zero Suicide team is contacted.

2. With permission from the client the suicide prevention case manager will:

• immediately help stabilize the client
• explain the Show Me Zero Suicide Initiative
• perform an assessment

3. The case manager will provide a bridge to services including: short-term intensive case management, connection to long-term care and supports that promote self-care.
