Bart Andrews, PhD

Bart Andrews is vice president of clinical practice/evaluation at Behavioral Health Response (BHR). Dr. Andrews started at BHR as a crisis intervention clinician in 1998, and has dedicated the last 17 years of his life to suicide and crisis intervention. He is a person in recovery and a suicide attempt survivor. Dr. Andrews believes that the path to suicide prevention must be framed within the context of relationships, community, and culture, and that suicide is a community health problem, which everyone can help to address.

Dr. Andrews has over 20 years of experience providing behavioral health services. He received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and his MA and PhD from Southern Illinois University. He is actively involved in raising community awareness about the risk of suicide and training community members, law enforcement, and other professionals in suicide assessment and intervention. He serves on several crisis and suicide-related boards, including as vice president of the National Association of Crisis Organization Directors and co-chair of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s Standards, Training, and Practices Sub-Committee.

Dr. Andrews is also an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills (ASIST) senior training coach. Through BHR, Dr. Andrews created and implemented the first suicide follow-up program in Missouri, which allowed BHR to expand suicide follow-up care to youth and adults throughout the eastern region of the state.
