Our doctoral student @englert_adam presented research at #SSWR2026 that found facility practices significantly influence the availability of suicide prevention services for adolescents. Key takeaway --> Facilities offering innovative services, such as psychiatric emergency care and mobile crisis services, were more likely to provide suicide prevention services.
