When a client discloses their struggle with thoughts of suicide during a session it is the therapist's responsibility to assess for acuity and intent. While therapists are trained to be comfortable with the intensity of emotion our clients present, many don't have specific training beyond the thought-means-plan question protocol.  This workshop is designed to give clinicians specific assessment tools to help determine the level of care and treatment that a client may need if they are having thoughts of suicide.  From knowing the difference between suicidal ideation and suicidal intent to knowing the next questions to ask next, this workshop will provide practical tools and interventions that will help you feel more prepared the next time a client discloses suicidal thoughts.

​

Workshop Objectives:

• Identify warning signs and risk factors for suicide

• How to assess a client for suicide risk

• How to create a safety plan with client and identify level of care needed
