In this prerecorded webinar, attendees will gain insights into evidence-based practices for assessing suicide risk. Dr. Kiki Fehling will review key terms in suicidality, research on suicide’s risk factors, and practices to consider for intervention and documentation. Participants will learn to identify social, cultural, and general risk factors that influence suicide risk, as well as how to differentiate between non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal behaviors. Through didactics and small group discussions on case examples, participants will gain insight into how to better understand and help their suicidal clients, while balancing client autonomy with clinician responsibility.
