The DBT Centre of Vancouver is pleased to offer a full-day workshop, “Strategies in Working with Suicidal Clients."

Date: Friday, March 15, 2013

Location: Italian Cultural Centre, 3075 Slocan St, Vancouver.

About the Workshop:

Someone around the globe commits suicide once every 40 seconds and suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for young people between 15 and 24 years of age. Furthermore, the rate of suicide in most industrialized countries is increasing. Regrettably, research indicates that most clinicians receive insufficient training in working with suicidal clients.

This workshop is designed to provide concrete and practical strategies for working with suicidal clients. Special emphasis will be given to strategies used in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

• Identify common risk and preventative factors for suicide
• Understand, and more easily ask, important questions for assessing suicide risk
• Access some useful instruments for assessing such risk
• Perform a chain analysis to better determine the function of suicidal behaviour
• Utilize a problem-solving model in addressing suicidal triggers
• Identify 8 other important steps in managing suicidal behaviours
• Reduce liability through effective documentation
• Identify steps for helping oneself, and others, following a client's suicide
• Understand, superficially, some of the basic components of DBT
• Discuss ethical concerns in working with suicidal clients

The workshop will involve didactic presentation, video and audiotape demonstration, active participation, and practice of new strategies and skills. It is designed for mental health professionals (psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, etc.) providing counselling or other psychological services. 

Space is limited, so early registration is strongly encouraged.

CE Credits:

The DBT Centre is approved by the Canadian Psychological Association as a provider of continuing education activities. Attendees will receive a certificate confirming attendance for 6 CE credits.
