      abstract = {Healthcare workers at OHSU are vulnerable to poor mental  health that may result in suicide. Healthcare professionals  experience vicarious trauma and demanding workloads, which  contribute to poor mental health, and are at an increased  risk for suicide, (Badrfam et al., 2023; Portoghese et al.,  2014; What Is Vicarious Trauma in Healthcare  Professionals', 2023). Analysis of the findings showed that  there are three common themes among various suicide  prevention programs: peer support through normalizing  conversations around mental health, staff training on how  to engage in conversations about mental health and suicidal  ideations, and evaluation methods to ensure appropriate and  effective resources are available. To effectively address  mental health challenges, a Community Readiness Assessment  is needed to identify gaps and avoid one-size-fits-all  programs. A Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) position with a  $300,000 operating budget will allow for the implementation  of comprehensive staff training programs, including QPR  (Question, Persuade, Refer) and ASIST (Applied Suicide  Intervention Skills Training). Dedicated campaigns will  normalize mental health discussions, increase  participation, and help encourage program acceptance,  addressing immediate and long-term needs.},
