Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide
Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide (PC CARES) trains local community health workers to facilitate a series of five 3-hour Learning Circles (LCs) over \~6 months to develop a 'community of practice' (CoP), whereby trusted adults of youth (a) learn about SPBPs; (b) tailor the SPBPs to their culture and community; (c) build cross-sector relationships (parents, teachers, etc.), and (d) do more to prevent suicide. Each session shares evidence-based, actionable ways to enhance social support, reduce harm/risk, and promote help seeking, which participants adapt and apply in their daily interactions with youth.
