About the event
Crisis Intervention can be the most stressful part of a mental health professional’s work, and suicidality is a national epidemic. Pathways for Crisis Intervention offers steps for effective crisis intervention for adults and children, from asking about suicide and supporting a turn toward safety to effective safety planning and means restriction. Supervising licensure candidates and ethical guidelines are included. The gold standard suicide risk screening tool—the Columbia® Suicide Severity Rating Scale—will be analyzed with tips for assessment. Participants will learn how to identify whether someone is at risk for suicide, assess the severity and immediacy of that risk, and gauge the level of support that the person needs. Additional focus is on non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors.
The workshop includes a panel discussion from senior mental health professionals from Red Rock Behavioral Health Services.
