Identifying, Assessing, & Responding to Suicide Risk

This course will include research information from agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Association of Suicidology (AAS), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for an in-depth look at the prevalence of suicide, the warning signs, symptoms of depression, and risk factors. Case examples, stories, research articles, and interviews with professionals will be presented throughout the training with opportunities for participants to evaluate their own understanding of this subject. Greg will provide helpful risk assessment tools and present an approach he developed entitled, “A.N.C.H.O.R. Management of Suicide Risk” that includes the key components for working effectively with suicidal clients.
