In it Together: A Collaborative Approach to Suicide Assessment and Intervention
This suicide prevention workshop integrates the latest information on rapidly changing societal health and mental health conditions with interventions based on the ASIST model of suicide assessment and treatment. Though we can not provide a full training in this model in the allotted time, participants will get an overview of the foundational principles and skills of collaborative assessment and prevention, updated with what you need to know NOW to help your clients and patients. This training is relevant for case managers, front line staff, nurses, coaches, counselors, and other health care...Read more and mental healthcare workers. It satisfies most state requirements for suicide prevention training (You should check with your own state licensing board to verify that APA credits are accepted for this requirement). Topics to be discussed include:
• What should you be considering or doing differently when assessing for suicide via TeleHealth sessions?
• Are rising suicide rates actually a side effect of the pandemic?
• Which suicide risk factors are increasing due to shelter-in-place and how can you assess for them?
• How are suicidal people being impacted by social distancing? Who thrives and who nose-dives? (and why?)
• Social media - friend or foe in a time of isolation?
