Training Description
Come to this training on understanding suicidal ideation especially with kids that we serve in our continuum of care. This is going to be a training within the context of family because we need the larger team to keep kids safe. We are going to talk about why kids might choose suicide, things to look for, how we talk about it, ways to assess and how to keep kids safe! However, once kids are safe, our focus will shift to how do we keep them alive and having a future outlook that does not include seeing suicide as a viable option for managing their pain. Additionally, we are going to be learning about the pandemic and suicide.
Learning Objective
Describe and understand what suicidal ideation represents and how to explore and assess it.
Learn about the pandemic’s impact on suicide.
