Resources for Primary Care to Support Families
Suicide Prevention Program partnered with Seattle Children’s Care Network to create Behavioral Health Continuum of Care: A Series for Primary Care Providers. The series provides education about the continuum of mental health care or levels of care in Washington state and how, from a primary care perspective, we can support families in accessing care.
Navigate through the training modules to learn about the different levels of care. We recommend watching them in order because we will reference background information we share in earlier courses, later in the series. However, the courses are set up so that you can select a specific topic to receive focused training.
