Zero Suicide in Healthcare: The Story of an International Declaration and Soc...David Covington
Keynote at the 2018 Suicide Prevention Australia conference in Adelaide, South Australia traces the story of Zero Suicide and highlights the champions who have led this breakout innovation. Suicide prevention has labored heroically to stand in the gap (like Leonidas' fateful Spartans) but we need a massive infusion of support, and Zero Suicide activates healthcare as a partner.
Peer supports is the key to transformation of mental health systems and the start of a bonafide social movement, akin to the revolutions we've seen with the disability community.
In 2016, the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention published “Crisis Now: Transforming Care is Within Our Reach.” Alignment with these practices cuts cost of care substantially, reduces the need for psychiatric hospital bed usage, ED visits and law enforcement overuse; resulting in better health and declines in suicide rate, justice system involvement/ incarcerations and psychiatric boarding. These challenges are simply greater than previously acknowledged, but the Washington State supreme court ruling on the unconstitutionality of boarding, the suicide death of Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds’ son, the insistence of hospitals nationwide about the costs and safety and the series of violent incidents from Columbine forward are changing the expectations. These innovative approaches pioneered under the leadership of Arizona Medicaid are now being replicated throughout the US.

3. Examples of Retreat Model centers that have opened since the 1990s in various locations across the United States are provided, demonstrating that this model provides a publicly-funded, high-quality alternative to hospital emergency rooms for people experiencing mental
