Suicide. It’s one of the most stress-inducing topics you deal with in therapy, and most clinicians receive little formal training on this important issue.
But the fact is, almost every therapist will treat clients who are struggling with suicide…
…so you need to know what to do when your clients have suicidal ideation or a history of attempts.
Fortunately, there are new evidence-based models that were specifically designed to help clients move past suicidality.
Now in this unique online course, you’ll get special access to experience these strategies for yourself and learn the tools and knowledge you need to be effective in treating and preventing suicide.
In this groundbreaking online course, you’ll get data-driven tools and strategies that will guide you in effectively treating the suicidal person — from case conceptualization to assessment and beyond.
You’ll gain the confidence you need to make the best decisions for even the most difficult clinical situations, such as:
- Does my client really need to be hospitalized?
- How do I do an assessment that actually helps my client rather than feels like an interrogation?
- How do I know whether the level of suicidality is an immediate threat?
- What do I do if my client shares that she/he has a suicide plan?
- What do I do if my client attempts suicide during therapy, and does this mean that the therapy is ineffective?
- How can I be effective AND keep my practice safe from legal problems?
- And much more!
By the end of this advanced skills training, you will learn dozens of proven communication strategies and methods that will help your clients feel safe to open up to you about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences — no matter how severe their pain.
