About the Workshop:
As clinicians, we rely on best practices to assess and address suicidality with our patients, but we’re also human beings in the room with another human being. In this pre-recorded workshop, current evidence-based practices for suicide risk assessment and treatment are reviewed. Dr. Davis-Coelho also explores challenging conversations have with ourselves if we’re doing this work, including the impact of our temperament, risk tolerance, and personal history. The presentation will also explore challenging conversations with our clients around self-determination, autonomy and safety, and decision-making about whether to live or die.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1) Identify at least four key factors in assessing risk for suicide.
2) Articulate the difference between suicidal ideation, intent, plan, and capacity.
3) Identify five evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatments for suicidality.
4) Demonstrate awareness of the impact of clinician temperament, risk tolerance, and history on clinical decision-making.
