The Competency Based Training for Suicide Prevention is a two-part interactive educational activity. Part 1 is an online module that must be completed prior to attending the live training (Part 2). Experts in psychiatric-mental health nursing and suicide assessment and prevention developed this curriculum to improve the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and critical thinking of psychiatric-mental health nurses (PMH-RN) who care for persons at risk for suicide. APNA's Program content is presented by trained facilitators with content matter expertise. 

The course emphasizes best practices and evidence-based nursing knowledge which has been shown to increase confidence in individual nursing practice, competence in nursing skills related to suicide prevention and assessment, and care management of persons at risk for suicide.
