Suicide is on the rise nationwide with increased attempts and deaths by suicide in our general population and among our most vulnerable communities. As a result, the clinical community has been tasked with gaining a more thorough understanding of the etiology, assessment, and treatment of suicidal behavior. Though this sounds rather straightforward, there are many clinical issues associated with suicide beyond just understanding, preventing, and treating “suicidal behaviors.” This presentation will examine suicide through a multifaceted lens to identify specific suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies across different cohorts, conditions, and circumstances.

Presentation Description:
Suicide is on the rise nationwide with increased attempts and deaths by suicide in our general population and among our most vulnerable communities. As a result, the clinical community has been tasked with gaining a more thorough understanding of the etiology, assessment, and treatment of suicidal behavior. Though this sounds rather straightforward, there are many clinical issues associated with suicide beyond just understanding, preventing, and treating “suicidal behaviors.” This presentation will examine suicide through a multifaceted lens to identify specific suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies across different cohorts, conditions, and circumstances.
Though relatively new, the field of Suicidology is robust and constantly growing, with more and more research and evidence-based applications available to clinicians in the field of behavioral health. As Suicidology often resides under the larger umbrella of Public Health, many clinicians are unaware of the nature of suicide, as well as how it affects the individuals who consider, attempt, or die by suicide and the effect that those behaviors have on their immediate and extended families and communities. In this presentation, we will be looking at broader socio-cultural understandings of suicide, as well as individual differences among those most at risk and how clinicians can appropriately assess, treat, and prevent suicide using the most current, effective tools available.
Objectives and Goals
Course Goals - This presentation will (a) Define the field of suicidology and its relationship to behavioral health; (b) Explore facets of prevention and intervention of suicide, inclusive of a discussion of terminology, etiology, prevalence, and rates of incidence across different populations and psychiatric diagnoses; (c) Assist clinicians in developing detailed plans for safety with a discussion of barriers to implementation, access to treatment, and resources available in the community; (d) Illustrate the relationship between suicide and trauma and the implications for treatment; and (e) Define the construct of post-vention and the role that it plays for survivors.
Measurable Objectives -
By the end of the presentation, I am able to:
By the end of the presentation, I am able to:
• Compare the relationship between suicidology and other behavioral health sciences and its applications to clinical work across different settings
• Identify at least three warning signs and three risk factors of suicide
• Differentiate between safety plans and safety contracts, and develop a plan for assessing safety in clients which includes creating and renewing safety plans with clients throughout the duration of therapy
• Describe resistance to or countertransference around asking clients about suicide and utilize appropriate person-first, client-centered, suicide-related terminology
• Identify three differences between and among special populations and across the lifespan with regard to suicide
• Distinguish and explain the relationship among suicide, psychosis, PTSD, and other types of psychiatric illness
• Describe the role of trauma in suicide and explore clinical opportunities to ameliorate trauma to decrease risk
• Develop a resource list for crisis intervention with at least 5 different resources
• Describe at least three specific intervention strategies and therapeutic applications during the crisis as well as pre- and post-vention and post-intervention
No partial CE credit will be awarded
