Putting Safety Plans to Work: Evidence-Based Suicide Prevention
About
Learn how the Stanley–Brown Safety Planning Intervention — paired with SPiER workflows and ICANotes’ integrated safety-planning tools — can strengthen your clinical practice, reduce risk, and support better client outcomes.
What You’ll Learn
During this actionable, clinician-focused session, you’ll discover:
Why Safety Plans Matter (Beyond Documentation):
Many providers still rely on “no-harm contracts” or vague narrative notes that offer little guidance for clients or protection for clinicians. Safety planning is a clinical intervention, not a form.
What Makes a High-Quality Safety Plan:
A clinically sound safety plan is:
☑️ Collaborative
☑️ Specific
☑️ Written in the client’s own words
☑️ Updated as risk changes
☑️ Shared with the client and care team
You’ll learn the core components and how to avoid common pitfalls.
How SPiER Supports Evidence-Based Safety-Planning Fidelity:
The SPiER Initiative will walk through practical methods for building consistency, quality, and accountability throughout the safety-planning workflow.
How to Use the Stanley–Brown Safety Plan Inside ICANotes:
