Ethical Directions to Risk Management
Guiding Providers · Protecting Lives
CenterEthics-SSC trains behavioral health providers and care managers in evidence-based standards for suicide-safer care, grounded in ethics, shaped by risk management, and delivered in a conversational approach that brings clients and providers onto the same course.
Why We Exist
Every behavioral health provider and care manager deserves rigorous, evidence-based training in suicide-safer care and risk management, and every client deserves a provider who has received it. The Center for Ethics in Suicide-Safer Care exists to close that gap.
Our Mission
To provide training and consultation that chart a course toward ethical, life-saving practice in suicide prevention, intervention, post-intervention and postvention. This guides every provider and client toward the true north of suicide-safer care.
Our Approach
Every trained provider is a potential lifeline.
At CenterEthics-SSC, we combine evidence-based frameworks with compassionate, conversation-centered practice, because knowing what to say, and how to say it, matters. Our training is accessible: available in person, virtually, and soon in self-paced delivery, for organizations of any size, any setting, and any population.
How We Work
Three commitments in every program
Ethics First
We embed ethical reasoning into every standard of care, not as an afterthought, but as the foundation every practice decision is built on. Reflects the Zero Suicide framework and professional standards of care.
Risk Management
Our training speaks the language of malpractice and liability protection: foreseeability, reasonable care, and documentation.
Conversational Approach
Complex clinical and legal concepts are delivered in plain language that reflects the actual language of crisis.
Who We Serve
Built for the people on the front lines.
Our training meets providers wherever they practice. Find the program built for your setting.
What Providers Say
From the field
This workshop is what we have needed for caregivers and clinicians since suicide prevention became a public health concern. It provides a clear pathway to better understand how ethical practices can incorporate the information shared to better serve clients and avoid unsafe treatment approaches. We have waited long enough for this opportunity to be available, and to not take the course leaves our clients rudderless.
I believe EVERY social worker working with clients should attend this foundational training to strengthen their competency regarding suicide.
