17. U of C researchers helping suicide prevention across the world By Greg Harris, Gazette staff The Surgeon General of the United States has adopted a national policy statement on suicide prevention that has its roots at the University of Calgary. Richard Ramsay, a professor in the Faculty of Social Work, says the impetus for the American suicide prevention strategy can be traced to a 1993 Banff conference he organized with Bryan Tanney, Department of Psychiatry, at the invitation of the United Nations. At that conference, representatives from 14 countries created a policy document for the UN called Prevention of Suicide: Guidelines for the Formulation and Implementation of National Strategies. The Surgeon General’s policy statement is the latest highlight for Ramsay and LivingWorks Education Inc., a University Technologies International Inc. start-up company that provides training in suicide intervention.

4 provincial strategies; 6 w/o or only on paper SK w/o The Ministry of Health oversees suicide prevention activities in this province, although a formal strategy has not been put in place. Stakeholders include the regional health authorities (RHAs), school divisions, and the CMHA - SK Division. No one agency has been a leader in suicide prevention at this point. The Safety Alert Working Group prepared a report in September 2009 recommending that each RHA: Endorse the LivingWorks Suicide Intervention Model (SIM) for staff training and suicide intervention including ASIST and Safe Talk. Establish a lead team for RHA Provide ASIST to frontline MH&A staff Provide safeTALK to ambulance ER staff Guided by info from NSW, THC, Calder Center, LW; based on AC ROP (Required Org Practices)
Overview development of GK in SP starting in 70s Compare provocative statements in 70s that called for training and protocols that did NOT REQUIRE referral to MH specialists with drift or evolution to today’s norm that REQUIRES GK interventions to refer to MH specialities. Refer to pioneer efforts to validate Rothman’s knowledge transfer research method in SP; augment what he was trying to demonstrate in SW to be the missing research mode between knowledge generation research (bench) and program evaluation research (effectiveness) Also touch on emergence of private enterprise in form of social enterprise companies with a combined business model and social mission structure. LW was an early version of this that University of Calgary recognized had to be done if promising program development and dissemination could get out from the yoke of government funding and corresponding limitations beyond tax payer or sponsorship boundaries of supporting governments and/or foundations
