Empirically Validated Approaches to Treating Suicide
Presented by Dr. Lisa Firestone on 12-06-2024 at 9 a.m. Pacific (noon Eastern) to 11 a.m. Pacific (2 p.m. Eastern)
Although one in five clinical psychologists loses a client to suicide in the course of their clinical career, only 48% of all graduate programs in clinical psychology offer any formal training in assessing the risk of suicide and the treatment of suicidal patients. This means that there is a clear need for more extensive training at the post-doctoral level in the management and treatment of suicidal patients.
In this 2-hour continuing education webinar, Dr. Lisa Firestone will present the most recent research on assessment, crisis management, and treatment. Clinicians who enhance their skills in treating clients who are potentially self destructive will be able to provide a higher quality of care.
This intermediate level continuing education webinar is designed to help mental health professionals:
- Implement state of the art crisis intervention for suicidal clients.
- Identify a number of empirically validated treatments for suicide.
- Select assessments crisis interventions and case management strategies for suicidal patients.
Statement of program material's accuracy, utility, and risks: A list of references supporting the course content will be provided to participants.
