Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper describes the implementation of Suicide Prevention 2.0, a fully virtual enterprise-wide telehealth initiative within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs designed to increase access to evidence-based suicide prevention therapies. The resource outlines the program's structure, which includes four specific interventions delivered via telehealth to veterans with recent suicidal self-directed violence, and details its expansion across all VA health care systems. It provides administrative data on therapist hiring, retention, referral volumes, and the use of implementation frameworks like EPIS and RE-AIM. This overview is primarily relevant for clinicians and administrators interested in large-scale public health models and telehealth service delivery for suicide prevention.
