How Does the Program Work?
  1. At the request of a hospital, school, or in response to a crisis call the Show Me Zero Youth Suicide team is contacted.

  2. With permission from the youth and the youth's guardian (if under 18) the suicide prevention case manager will:
    • immediately help stabilize the youth
    • explain the Show Me Youth 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 resources that promote self-care and wellness.
Program Goals
  • Improve the system of care for suicidal youth who use hospital emergency rooms, in-patient psychiatric facilities, and/or crisis hotlines.
