The Virginia Department of Health provides a free, downloadable poster providing healthcare personnel with information on recognizing and responding to acute suicide risk.
The poster is titled "Is Your Patient Suicidal?" It identifies signs of acute suicide risk and questions for staff members to ask patients if patients present signs of acute risk or if staff members suspect acute risk.
Download the suicide risk poster (pdf) for use in your facility.
