Learn a systematic framework to unite your team and guide best practice in recovery oriented care - 2019
Co-Taught by clinical and lived experience instructors
See recovery-oriented care come to life in video demonstrations
Dive deep into Prevention Oriented Risk Formulation
More than just safe care, it is hope for a full recovery and a life that’s liveable again.
Almost any problem becomes more manageable if you have a framework for understanding and addressing it.
The SafeSide Framework unites staff and service lines with a shared evidence-informed framework that focuses on four core goals of person-centered suicide care: Connect - Assess - Respond - Extend.
Co-taught by expert clinician Anthony R. Pisani and lived experience instructor Kristina Mossgraber, this workshop will give you a map you can use right away to collaborate with consumers and know you're providing the best practices the field has to offer.
SafeSide Framework will organize your thinking and communication with colleagues and the people you serve. It will help you document your actions and decisions.
It’s evidence-informed, practical, and inspiring. SafeSide lifts our sights beyond merely 'keeping clients safe' toward a vision of full recovery and a life worth living.
Every SafeSide workshop is co-led by Kristina Mossgraber who has lived experience of recovery from suicide attempts and mental illness. The lived experience expert deepens the curriculum by sharing experiences in health care that made a positive difference in her life.
SafeSide also features a new set of video-recorded skills demonstrations and these brief demonstrations bring the SafeSide model to life, and drive discussion and practice.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is for staff, clinical directors, and training managers in health, behavioural health, and youth services settings. It has application in both clinical and community based settings.

What is SafeSide?
SafeSide is an evidence-informed approach to caring interaction, assessment and support for youth and adults at risk for suicide.
The framework provides a common language and simple, practical steps so everyone is ready and clear-minded when patients disclose suicidal thinking.
Four core tasks incorporate best practices for supporting people at risk for suicide—no matter what your setting or role: Connect, Assess, Respond, and Extend.
The Care Framework also applies “fluid vulnerability theory” by focusing attention on identifying a person’s available resources and foreseeable changes—triggers that could increase risk—and how to plan for these.
The innovation at the heart of the Care Framework is a risk formulation model developed by SafeSide founder Anthony R. Pisani, Ph.D. and colleagues Daniel Murrie, Ph.D. and Morton M. Silverman, M.D. The Care Framework expands on the Commitment to Living (CTL) curriculum developed by Dr. Pisani.

The Evidence
SafeSide is an evidence-informed framework that brings many different best practices and, where available, evidence-based practices under a common framework. Skills and practices are all based in basic or applied suicide prevention research. Patient outcome data is not yet available for any broad-based suicide prevention training, but ours is one of the only programs with evidence of educational outcomes.
In 2011, Dr Pisani published a study calling for greater attention to the transfer of training from skill-building to patient care outcomes (Pisani et al, 2011). He developed and tested Commitment to Living as a step in this direction by being the first clinical training that demonstrated skill improvements through objectively-rated documentation samples (Pisani et al, 2012). Risk formulation (Pisani et al, 2016) was an important part of Commitment to Living. This work continues to evolve and is currently the focus of an AHRQ grant that Dr Wendi Cross and Dr Pisani are leading to test an online adaptation of this training (AHRQ HS024224), which eventually became SafeSide.
Preliminary data from this study are promising, with a manuscript currently in preparation. Dr Pisani also conducted research about the effectiveness of facilitated video learning (Conner, Wood, Pisani, & Kemp et al, 2013) that supported the approach he took with the development of SafeSide.
