Working with Clients Who Have Thoughts of Suicide: A Panel Discussion

A panel of presenters will discuss legal, professional and crisis response issues for mental health professionals when helping clients who have thoughts of suicide.  How can mental health professionals play a role in intervention? How can therapists equip themselves to deal with this challenge? What are a therapist’s legal and professional obligations?  What are the parameters of treatment for short- and long-term client needs? 

This training is especially timely as the State of Missouri enacted a law earlier this year that now requires mental health professionals to include 2 hours of Suicide Prevention Training in their CE requirement for licensure. Read more here.
