Suicide rates in the United States continue to increase, and many clinicians do not receive specialized training in assessment or intervention. In this interactive course, we discuss the common etiology of suicidal behavior as well as risk assessment, intervention, safety planning and prevention. We also provide a review of the importance of self-care in relation to compassion fatigue and grief.
Overview
