SUMMARY:Protocol Development Training – Suicide Prevention\, Intervention\, & Postvention
DESCRIPTION:The Protocol Development Training will be held on Friday\, February 7th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Zoom. \nParticipants will receive access to the Zoom link along with training materials in a reminder email that will be sent closer to the training date. \nIf a school or other organization experiences a suicide or a significant suicide attempt\, it is a time of crisis. The likelihood of an organization encountering a potential suicidal situation is real. Maine loses an average of 262 people to suicide every year\, 26 of them youth under age 25. Protocols provide organization staff with direction\, structure\, and support to safely assist in a suicidal situation\, including prevention\, intervention\, and postvention. This is why NAMI Maine is dedicated to ensuring employers and staff have every available resource to create the necessary protocols for dealing with a crisis.  \nThis training provides abundant background resources\, model forms (clinical and administrative)\, and examples of protocols developed by other school districts. \n*Every school district in Maine is required to develop and implement comprehensive protocols informing how they manage suicide prevention\, intervention when there is a risk of suicidal behavior\, and their response in the aftermath of a suicide attempt or loss.  \nBecause protocol development is a collaborative effort\, an individual from an organization or school district should not attend this training alone. Please invite administrators and other staff members to register for this training and join you. \nQuestions: Contact Julianne McLaughlin\, Manager of Suicide Prevention\, at (800) 464-5767 x2318 or mspp@namimaine.org \nEvent Attendance: Open to Public

SUMMARY:Suicide Assessment & Management Training
DESCRIPTION:The Suicide Assessment and Management Training will be held on Thursday\, February 13\, 2025 from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM over Zoom. \nParticipants will receive access to the Zoom link along with training materials in a reminder email that will be sent closer to the training date. \nThe 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.  \nThe 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. \nFor clinicians\, this training qualifies for renewal of the Gatekeeper Training certification. \nQuestions: Contact Julianne McLaughlin\, Manager of Suicide Prevention\, at (800) 464-5767 x2318 or mspp@namimaine.org \nEvent Attendance: Open to Public

SUMMARY:GRIEF Approach: A Comprehensive Treatment Model for Traumatic Loss
DESCRIPTION:This in person training will be held in several parts on Wednesday\, February 26th from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM; Thursday\, February 27th from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM; and a third component entitled Helping the Helpers: Taking Care of Ourselves on Friday\, February 28th from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. \nEach session will be held at the Maine Resiliency Center in Lewiston\, Maine\, utilizing the best entrance through their parking garage located at 26 Chapel Street. \nRegistering using this form will sign participants up for all three dates. \n“She was no longer wresting with the grief\, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.” – George Eliot \nDesigned for adult individuals\, Grief Recovery with Individualized Evidence-Based Formulation Approach (GRIEF Approach) leans on existing evidence-based strategies through a module-based approach that addresses heterogeneous mental health correlates of violent loss (homicide\, suicide\, traffic crash) in one streamlined and comprehensive approach informed by both trauma and grief research fields. GRIEF Approach targets symptoms underlying three main mental health difficulties commonly associated with traumatic loss: post-traumatic stress symptoms\, depression\, and prolonged grief as well as tailoring the modules for applicability to violent loss based upon grief and violent loss literature. A thorough assessment of symptoms with a multicultural lens informed by sociocultural context is warranted to guide modules of intervention. This intervention was developed to be comprehensive yet flexible to allow accommodation for prioritizing and targeting various symptom presentations unique to each survivor. The GRIEF Approach model includes 8 modules provided over 12–20 sessions. \nThis workshop focuses on the intervention objectives and practice elements contained within each module. This training provides an understanding of the varied responses to traumatic loss\, reviews of the latest research on recovery trajectories\, and highlights risk factors to recovery. Assessment driven conceptualization to guide intervention strategies is discussed. Participants learn empirically supported therapeutic techniques in working with long-term recovery and treatment of prolonged grief responses. The interactive workshop involves video demonstrations and hands-on exercises designed to teach clinicians how to implement the treatment. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Understand common trauma and grief responses to traumatic loss (homicide\, suicide\, traffic crash) and in context of both and individual and sociocultural perspective. \n2. Distinguish between prolonged grief\, depression\, and PTSD and ways to tailor an individualized treatment plan based upon symptom presentation. \n3. Describe several evidence based strategies (e.g..\, meaningful behavioral activation\, therapeutic exposure\, revising bonds) for trauma and grief difficulties. \nQuestions: Contact Julianne McLaughlin\, Manager of Suicide Prevention\, at (800) 464-5767 x2318 or mspp@namimaine.org (*be sure to specify which event you’re inquiring about) \nEvent Attendance: We are pleased to offer this training to public participants located in Maine. \n*This training was supported [in part] by grant number 1H07SM089706-01 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Recovery with Individualized Evidence-Based Formulation Approach (GRIEF Approach) leans on existing evidence-based strategies through a module-based approach that addresses heterogeneous mental health correlates of violent and/or sudden loss (in one streamlined and comprehensive approach informed by both trauma and grief fields. \n\n \nJamison S. Bottomley\, PhD\, is a licensed clinical psychologist and Research Assistant Professor at the National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center (NCVC)\, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences\, Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

Dr. Bottomley’s program of research centers around the study of traumatic loss (i.e.\, bereavement following sudden\, violent\, or volitional causes of death)\, including the impact of social stressors and substance use on health outcomes secondary to traumatic loss\, as well as treatment development and optimization. His program of research has been generously supported by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). In his spare time\, Dr. Bottomley enjoys all things outdoors\, but he especially loves spending time on the beach or in the ocean with his wife and son.
