The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has released “Suicide Safe,” a free suicide prevention app for mobile devices. The app is based on SAMHSA’s Suicide Assessment Five-Step Evaluation and Triage (SAFE-T) card and helps providers use SAFE-T, quickly access and share information, and locate treatment options for patients. This app is available for both Android and Apple devices from Google Play and the App Store.
In addition to the new app, SAMHSA and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center developed a Primary Care Toolkit that was originally targeted to rural providers (but has now been expanded): http://www.sprc.org/for-providers/primary-care-tool-kit-book-resources-general
