What if behavioral health care was designed to reach people before crisis — not after tragedy? Meet Virna Little, Co-Founder of Concert Health and Founder of Zero Overdose, as she joins host Niki Cantrell on the Ascend Growth AI podcast to discuss scaling access to behavioral health, suicide prevention, and overdose prevention nationwide.

A psychologist, social worker, and national leader in collaborative care, Virna has spent nearly a decade building systems that expand access to evidence-based behavioral health services through primary care. In this conversation, she shares how data, advocacy, and human-centered design can prevent overdose and suicide and why safety planning should be as common as “stop, drop, and roll.”

In this episode, Virna shares:

🧠 How collaborative care expands access to behavioral health in underserved communities
🏥 Why primary care plays a critical role in suicide and overdose prevention
🤖 How AI and technology can support safety planning, engagement, and clinical decision-making with caution and care
📊 The workforce crisis in behavioral health and why education and training must evolve
❤️ What safety planning really is and how everyday people can help save lives

Whether you’re a healthcare leader, policymaker, clinician, or founder building systems that matter this episode offers powerful insight into prevention, compassion, and scalable impact.
