Adolescent Suicide: Prevention, Detection, Intervention

Overview

Event details listed next to a black silhouette of a person standing in shadows facing towards a brightly colored horizon with mountains, clouds and birds

Online Workshop
Friday, October 27, 2023
10:00am-1:30pm ET

NYSED and ASWB/ACE approved for 3.5 CE contact hours

This interactive training takes on a topic that can feel overwhelming to many caregivers and service providers: the very real risks of adolescent suicide. The delicate combination of developmental stage, neurological development, rapid hormonal changes, and social challenges put this age group at greater risk for suicide than any other, yet there are also concrete, protective ways of providing support to teens who may be at risk for suicide or self-harm. By the close of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of adolescent emotional and neurological development; potential warning signs and risk factors for suicide; and concrete, practical interventions to provide the best chances for the adolescent’s survival through such a transformational time.

  3. Be provided with two empirically-tested models of suicide assessments.
  4. Understand the emotional behavioral signs of and risk factors for adolescent suicide or self-harm.
