When working with a behavioral health population, it is critical to be mindful of the fact that the rates of suicide attempts/completions are much higher than that of the general population. Indeed, some studies show the rate of suicide for people diagnosed with schizophrenia is twenty-four times higher than the general population.
This course looks at warning signs, risk factors associated with increased risk and assessment of suicidality using the Suicide Severity Scale originally developed at Columbia University.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:
- Define terms regarding self-harm and suicide.
- List at least four warning signs which may reflect suicidal behavior.
- Outline the procedures for identifying, assessing and responding to participant suicidality.
- Summarize the steps when using the Suicide Severity Scale.
This workshop is designed for the beginner-advanced level clinician.
