Urgency to Address S&R in Behavioral Health Treatment Settings

Approximately 50-150 Americans die annually from S&R – thousands others are injured and traumatized (Harvard Center for Risk Analysis)
S&R should be viewed as a treatment failure that creates barriers to recovery
May be detrimental to recovery or persons with mental illness; retraumatizing (for consumers and staff)
Facilities have successfully reduced and eliminated SR (Bennington-Davis; Huckshorn; LeBel)
Focus on the prevention of the use of SR
Less recognized: multi-level economic burden
