Clients often don’t get the results they could from mental health medications and suffer unnecessarily. And even be at greater risk for suicide.
Tailored specifically for the mental health clinician, this seminar provides what you need to help your client get more benefit – and less downside – from taking medications.
Susan Marie, PMHNP, PhD, CARN-AP, expert clinician, prescriber and presenter, will give you practical, evidence-based strategies to use immediately in your practice. This is the “toolbox” you’ll turn to time and again. You will learn critical information about medications – but far more useful information than you might learn in typical “Psychopharm” trainings (or Dr. Google!)
The unique focus of this seminar is that it increases your skills to help clients with the vulnerable, and challenging, process of choosing to take and then whether to stay on psychiatric medications, and then when and how to stop them.
For example, if your client is benefiting some from their antidepressant, but hates the hassle, what do you do? And say, or not say? And what if they have suicidal thoughts?
From this seminar, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to effectively:
And that’s only the beginning.
You’ll also get new language options for your toolbox for asking the critical, but difficult questions and for alerting clients to potential dangers. Plus, tools for measuring progress that are client friendly and increase treatment results, and even includes do’s and don’t strategies for interacting with prescribing colleagues.
