This training is for any clinician who wants to improve their skill in assessing and treating suicidal ideation and behaviors. Suicide rates are climbing and continues to be the 10th leading cause of death in the US. Despite the growing field of Suicidology, and the development of evidence-based interventions, most clinical settings are still using old, ineffective strategies. Clinicians in all practice settings face this issue and are often inadequately trained. Come learn about and practice specific interventions. We are so passionate about working to reduce the rates of suicide that we have provided this training at a reduced fee.
