WORKSHOP COMPONENTS:
This Beck Institute in-person workshop will provide an overview of evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies that can be utilized for the assessment and treatment of individuals with suicide-related ideation and/or behaviors. Emphasis will be placed on biopsychosocial risk and protective indicators for suicide. Attendees will be introduced to the suicide nomenclature, best practices in documentation, and will learn how to continually assess for suicide risk, using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale. In terms of treatment, first, attendees will learn about basic cognitive behavioral strategies for structuring sessions –including setting a collaborative agenda, prioritizing items on the session agenda, assigning action plan(s), measuring progress, and eliciting feedback. Second, attendees will become familiar with Aaron Beck’s cognitive model for suicide as a framework for conceptualizing and treating their patients. Third, the components of an efficacious, trans-diagnostic, and brief 10-session outpatient Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CT-SP) protocol will be reviewed. Emphasis will be placed on specific techniques of intervention (e.g., assisting patient with the suicide “story” narrative, building skills such as emotion regulation and problem solving, instilling hope, planning for safety, preventing relapse) in order to assist providers in maximizing the safety of individuals at risk for suicide. Information about helpful online tools and resources will be provided. Attendees will practice learned strategies within a virtual setting and questions about expected implementation challenges will be addressed. Finally, attendees will learn about the warning signs of professional burnout and discuss the importance of self-care strategies, particularly as they provide services to this highly vulnerable and challenging patient population.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AFTER COMPLETION OF THE WORKSHOP:
After completion of this 3-day workshop, you will receive a certificate of attendance (this is not a CBT certification course, as that is an extensive process) and a separate CEU certificate.
