Adair County Health System (ACHS) is taking a special aim at suicide prevention and awareness during September with its Senior Life Solutions Program. This is in alignment with the National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month.

Program staff are trained in the use of standardized, evidence-based tools for screening patients at a risk for suicide. In addition, they assist the patient to create a plan to prevent future suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts. The program is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed for older adults suffering from symptoms of anxiety and depression often related to aging.
