Description
Suicide assessment, prevention, and intervention is a topic relevant to all health care providers. Research shows that most people who kill themselves have a diagnosable mental or substance use disorder, or both, and that the majority of them have depressive illness. This course discusses prevalence, risk factors, screening, assessment, safety planning, treatment, and management. Topics include a clinical practice guideline for the assessment and management of patients at risk for suicide, co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, suicide in the military, suicide risk in children, suicide crisis intervention strategies, and ethical considerations in the assessment and management of suicide risk.
This course fulfills the BOP-CA suicide requirement for psychologists for six (6) hours of coursework or applied experience in suicide assessment and intervention.
