New Training Materials on Suicide from the Illinois Ombudsman Program

July 19, 2018

The Illinois Ombudsman Program developed several training materials Ombudsman program representatives can use when a resident mentions committing suicide. The materials include their Policies and Procedures Manual, a guide, PowerPoint, and a tri-fold program representatives can take with them while doing facility visits titled When Residents Threaten to Harm Themselves: A Guide for Long-Term Care Ombudsmen. These materials are located on the Mental Health/Mental Illness issue page.
