Overview


Suicide is a serious public health concern and is among the leading causes of death in the United States. Those who attempt or complete suicide are often stigmatized. Service providers are challenged with offering support to vulnerable populations who are at greater risk of suicide than the norm. National efforts have focused on identifying risk factors and strategies to prevent suicide. This training provides an overview of both suicide assessment and prevention and offers in-depth statistics with an emphasis on risk factors and warning signs to be on the lookout for that contribute to potential suicide completions. Intervention strategies, including assessments of the continuum of suicide and ensuring the person’s safety, are presented. Attendees will learn about safety planning and will be introduced to the evidence-based Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale. Case studies are used to practice the skills presented in this training, and resources are provided. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the suicide continuum and a host of strategies to assist individuals in crisis.
