Suicide Assessment & Management Training

The Suicide Assessment and Management Training will be held on Thursday, February 13, 2025 from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM over Zoom.

Participants will receive access to the Zoom link along with training materials in a reminder email that will be sent closer to the training date.

The Suicide Assessment and Management Training is designed to prepare a new or seasoned clinician to understand the risk of suicide, how to approach and complete an effective suicide risk assessment and intervention as well as ongoing management for individuals at increased risk. The focus is on assessment skills for those working in clinical roles including counselors, social workers, nurses, and psychologists. 

The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) will be used as a recommended tool for assessment. A systemic approach to suicide prevention is followed where assessment, intervention, Collaborative Safety Planning, and assured follow-up are the critical elements. Assessment and Safety Planning tools and model documentation will be included for ongoing use.

For clinicians, this training qualifies for renewal of the Gatekeeper Training certification.
