Advanced Suicide Prevention Training
Few clients challenge us more than clients struggling with suicide. Suicidal clients are dealing with deep and profound pain that can cause the service provider to feel overwhelmed and inadequate. The responsibility is great, and we are expected to assess the situation accurately.
Advanced Suicide Prevention Training (ASPT) explores these areas in-depth, placing emphasis on an understanding of trauma and trauma-informed suicide assessment. ASPT goes beyond the basics and towards more detailed assessment and intervention strategies to support clients on their road to healing. Relationship building and the impact of the work on providers is also a central focus.
This training is for service providers who are providing ongoing support to their clients struggling with recurring suicidality. Participants must have previous training (e.g. ASIST, Klinic Crisis Line Volunteer Training, etc.) or practice in suicide prevention and intervention and be working with clients in an ongoing capacity.
