Event
Suicide Prevention for Young Adult Populations in a Post-Pandemic World
Helping a young person through a pivotal moment in their life is an indescribable reward and navigating these intense or frightening moments is an integral part of the clinician's role. With the rising rates of suicide and loneliness in the young adult population (American Association for Suicidology, 2023), mental health professionals are often the first critical step towards support and intervention for these young people, with many professionals feeling unprepared and unsure of what to do. This seminar will provide you with the confidence to support young people struggling with suicide and to navigate the assessment process through empirically validated interventions and a community support framework.
By attending this event, attendees will learn how to::
1. Analyze modern data trends on suicide to illustrate the increasing prevalence of suicidality.
2. Identify and appraise risk factors, protective factors, and for the presence of activating events
to improve accurate assessment of risk and collaboratively engage in the safety planning
process.
3. Differentiate between active and passive ideation and appropriately utilize indirect and direct
approaches to asking about suicidality.
4. Develop communication strategies that impart hope, connection, and strengthen therapeutic
relationship.
5.Create strategic plans for incorporating community-based interventions and forming
appropriate resource and referral networks.
* Attendees who complete the training can earn up to 1.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
