Sui­ci­dal Ideation: A Trau­ma-Informed Approach Training

Men­tal health pro­fes­sion­als are invit­ed to join us for a train­ing ses­sion on a trau­ma-informed approach on sui­ci­dal ideation with speak­er Amy Zajakows­ki Uhll, LCPC on Feb­ru­ary 23rd

Descrip­tion: I am think­ing about hurt­ing myself” These words strike fear in the hearts of all ther­a­pists. Sui­ci­dal ideation in clients reminds us of the real­i­ty that pain may be so deep and per­va­sive that some­one would think of end­ing their life. They also raise ques­tions of our legal and moral respon­si­bil­i­ty for the lives of oth­ers. This work­shop will explore sui­ci­dal ideation through a trau­ma-informed lens. We will dis­cuss how to assess for and treat risk, and use our ongo­ing treat­ment to under­stand sui­ci­dal thoughts and action as a mean­ing­ful strat­e­gy for deal­ing with painful his­to­ry and the chal­lenges of dai­ly life.

Course Objec­tives:
1. Explore the legal respon­si­bil­i­ty ther­a­pists have regard­ing sui­ci­dal thoughts and behav­ior
2. Learn the impor­tant risk fac­tors for sui­cide
3. Learn how to cre­ate a col­lab­o­ra­tive plan and doc­u­ment that plan
4. Dis­cuss tech­niques for explor­ing sui­ci­dal ideation and intent in the present moment
5. Under­stand sui­cide as a resourc­ing strat­e­gy
6. Dis­cuss the impact of treat­ing sui­ci­dal clients on the therapist
