I’ll be posting or reposting links, webinars, and other information to help clinicians, families and people with lived experience over the rest of this month. For now, just some thoughts and a link for resources. https://afsp.org/national-suicide-prevention-month/?tab=get-involved
Did you know:
* Despite the availability of evidence based assessments and treatments for suicidality, many therapists come out of their graduate programs without specific training in suicide assessments and treatments.
* Only 12 states mandate training in suicide prevention or suicide assessment, treatment, and management for mental health and health professionals and Florida is not one of them.
Suicide is treatable. Stay tuned to hear about a free webinar at the end of the month about “How Families Can Help a Loved One who is Suicidal”.
