Zero Suicide Virginia is a way to improve suicide care within Commonwealth\u2019s health and behavioral health systems. The foundational belief of Zero Suicide Virginia is that suicide deaths for individuals under the care of health and behavioral health systems are preventable. For systems dedicated to improving patient safety, Zero Suicide Virginia\u00a0 presents an aspirational challenge and practical framework for system-wide transformation toward safer suicide care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
