This training offers a detailed review of risk assessment protocols and treatment standards for clients with self harm and/or suicidal ideation. Drawing from DBT concepts, we will focus on how to keep clients safe while avoiding the trap of reinforcing behaviors. We will also get clarity on what to consider when deciding on the right level of care. We'll dive into two tools that many clinicians swear by: a flow chart for making real-time decisions about risk and a chart that help parents and families provide the right amount of supervision for loved ones with suicidal ideation. Join us as we unpack these practical strategies in a way that feels approachable and empowering!
