We hear about the contagious phenomenon of suicide. However, a full understanding of its mechanism will help us impart its underlying cause, and therefore master the principles of suicide risk assessment and intervention. At this seminar, you will master the 10 principles of suicide risk assessment and intervention, the 10 techniques of managing a suicide risk situation, and how to mitigate the 10 risk factors for suicide.
What will you learn from this seminar?
- How to reliably conduct a suicide risk assessment
- How to effectively intervene during an acute suicide risk situation
- How to effectively manage chronic suicidality, mitigate risk, and prevent suicide
- How to tailor interventions for uniquely challenging clients with suicidality
During this 6-hour seminar, we will guide you through an experiential learning process where you will be learning what it takes to help your clients, and how to implement that in daily practice.
