Treating clients at risk for suicide can be one of the most challenging aspects of clinical practice. Fear of what to say or causing harm—makes high-risk cases especially difficult to navigate.
The 6th Annual Suicide-Safer Care Summit is a two-day virtual conference which brings together leading experts in suicidology for a practical, evidence-based training addressing the challenges you face. Participants will receive direct guidance from intervention developers, current updates into emerging suicide prevention challenges, and concrete steps to work with clients at risk with greater confidence, competence, and clarity.
