Suicide 101 with Safety Planning Training Series - Part 2 of 2 

This training, customized specifically for professionals in the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services, is designed to increase knowledge and improve the skills and confidence of clinicians and others who find themselves identifying high-risk youth and adults, and planning for their care.

Based on Riverside Trauma Center’s Suicide Assessment and Intervention Training for Mental Health Professionals, participants will learn: 

  • Manage personal reactions to suicidal clients
  • List suicide warning signs and risk and protective factors
  • Demonstrate techniques to elicit suicidal ideation and history of behaviors
  • Identify strategies and tools to assess risk
  • Describe how a client’s ambivalence about suicide is an opportunity to intervene and how the client may view suicide as a coping strategy

 This is Part 2 of a 2 Part Training Event. You must register for both parts.
