COURSE DESCRIPTION
Suicide remains a significant public health problem. Within the United States alone, over 40,000 people take their life by suicide annually, approximately one person every 13 minutes. Another half a million people are treated in Emergency Departments for suicide attempts in the U.S. on yearly basis. Family members and others also experience a profound suffering and often stigma as they wrestle with the fact that their loved one took their own life.
Despite the prevalence of the problem, many clinicians describe feeling ill-prepared to assess, manage, and treat suicidal patients; many worry about making a wrong decision and corresponding ethical dilemmas when working with a suicidal patient. Given the scope of the problem and the life or death consequences involved in the decision making process, many states have now mandated training in suicide assessment and management for licensed health professionals.
This one day workshop is designed for mental health providers and other healthcare professionals who provide direct-care services and, as a result, will be required to assess and manage a suicide crisis at some point during their professional career.
Topics covered will include:
- General guidelines when treating suicidal patients.
- Ethical principles applied when treating suicidal patients.
- Special considerations and risk factors of various cultures.
- Special considerations when working with veteran populations.
- Short-term and long-term direct and indirect indices of imminent suicide risk.
- Developing a conceptual framework for suicidal behaviors and treatment planning.
- Evidence-based procedures for suicide risk assessment and management.
- Evidence-based procedures for assessing and managing non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors.
- Imminent risk crisis strategies to reduce suicide risk.
- When and for whom is hospitalization for suicidal patients helpful?
- Best-practice documentation strategies to reduce suicide risk and manage liability risk.
- Mood improvement protocol.
- Postvention considerations and approaches following a completed suicide.
