Program Summary:

Clients that are chronically suicidal and/or stuck in lives of misery can be difficult to treat. The client may feel stuck, and the therapist can too! Learning techniques to assess suicide risk, early intervention treatment options, and managing a clinician’s own fear are crucial in this field. There is a high probability that any clinician will encounter a self-harming or suicidal client over their professional career; the likelihood of a DBT® therapist treating a high acuity client is dramatically higher than their peers. It is crucial that DBT® therapists have an understanding of suicidal risk factors as well as a plan for assessing and treating. We will address how to focus on helping the client work toward their life worth living as the primary treatment for treating suicidality. Mindfulness is a crucial tool in this process Clinician need to understand the relevance of mindfulness as both a tool for their clients as well as a tool for themselves. This training will help attendees learn methods to teach mindfulness as well as learn to employ it as a strategy for their own stressors. We will also look at mindfulness as it can be used with children and adolescents!

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will examine suicide risk factors.

  • Participants will identify best practices for suicide risk assessment.

  • Participants will identify interventions for serving suicidal clients.

  • Participants will examine the framework and benefits of a mindfulness practice

  • Participants will determine how to incorporate mindfulness practices with their clients.
