Program Summary:
Learning techniques to assess suicide risk, early intervention treatment options, and managing a clinician’s own fear. There is a high probability that any clinician will encounter a self-harming or suicidal client over their professional career; the likelihood of a DBT® therapist treating a high acuity client is dramatically higher than their peers. It is crucial that DBT® therapists have an understanding of suicidal risk factors as well as a plan for assessing and treating.
Learning Objectives:
- List and explain suicide risk factors.
- Compare the relationship between self-harm and suicidal ideation/behavior.
