Strengthening Vermont’s Mental Health Workforce Through Suicide-Specific Training and Support
VPQHC is working to increase access to high-quality, suicide-specific treatment across Vermont by training mental health providers and building a statewide referral network.
This initiative focuses on two goals: creating a directory of clinicians trained in evidence-based suicide care, and offering affordable training opportunities, including the nationally recognized CAMS model.
To support ongoing practice, VPQHC also hosts communities of practice for trained providers, offering peer consultation and continued learning.
This effort helps ensure more Vermonters can connect with compassionate, skilled care when it matters most.
