Assessment for Suicidality: A Primer for Mental Health Clinicians
Charlie Safford, LCSW 3 Category A CEs in Suicide Prevention pending approval from NASW NH
This course is designed to provide a detailed overview of suicidality and implications for intervention on the part of every mental health clinician. This includes understanding and being prepared to identify the presence of suicidality and the level of risk, and to be able to provide a comprehensive assessment for the risk of suicide when a client comes into treatment. If we assume that the most important factor in clinical work is to protect our clients from life threatening harm, then knowledge of how to conduct a thorough suicide assessment can be considered one of the most vital components of a clinician's core knowledge base and skill set. Learning Objectives - identify the risk factors related to suicidal ideation and behavior - address increased incidence of suicidality post-Covid - conduct a comprehensive assessment for suicidality - denote adjunct parties to contribute to the overall picture of suicide risk - engage steps to stabilize suicidal clients - apply a process for addressing questions related to involuntary hospitalization
