N2  - The development and implementation of a suicide consultation service being run by an interdisciplinary team in a metropolitan Veteran's Administration (VA) medical center is described. This service is grounded in a collaborative theoretical framework. An overview of the consultation process and theoretical and empirical literature to support the framework used by the service are provided. Some of the interventions commonly recommended to referring clinicians to reduce client suicide risk are reviewed. Although there are many challenges to running a service such as this, the authors conclude that the model presented is flexible enough to be applied in a variety of settings. © 2009 American Psychological Association.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
