4-HOUR SUICIDE PREVENTION & ASSESSMENT TRAINING

Suicide is a national epidemic with the numbers of people who tragically take their lives, especially teens and young adults, growing each and every day. Sadly, it’s not about the numbers, it’s about the faces behind them, and the pain these people experience. Sometimes they reach out, often they do not. We must learn to listen and identify them and offer help to prevent this permanent “solution” to a temporary problem in their lives.

This course teaches valuable techniques that demonstrate how to assess and prevent suicides. Through this comprehensive course, we examine the names and faces behind the statistics and explore how to recognize, assess and prevent suicidal behavior within the healthcare setting.

It is vital that people close to individuals at risk not involved in healthcare recognize the warning signs so that they can intervene effectively and get help for them soon…before it’s too late. Our instructors use personal case studies, dynamic exercises and comprehensive assessment that provides crucial lifesaving skills that can help those in crisis as well as the people who care for them.  Learn to recognize the warning signs and implement care and resources that can save a life.
