Fundamental Frameworks for Crisis Intervention (2-DAY)

This 2-day workshop combines three of our most popular crisis intervention workshops: Calm in Crisis, Creating Connection and Safety: Treating Homicidal Ideation, and Learn the Columbia!

Calm in Crisis will lay out the steps for effective crisis intervention, from asking about suicide and supporting a turn toward safety to effective safety planning and means restriction. Creating Connection will teach you how to administer a homicide questionnaire, learn how to build a treatment plan for addressing HI, and evidence-based processes that can be applied to the treatment of those reporting HI. Learn the Columbia analyzes the clinical rationale underpinning the Columbia® Suicide Severity Rating Scale, an innovative, gold standard suicide risk screening tool. Participants will learn how to identify whether someone is at risk for suicide, assess the severity and immediacy of that risk, and gauge the level of support that the person needs.

We will also provide guidance on understanding the laws for an emergency order of detention, as well as writing LMHP statements.

Participants will be able to:

• Understand the key components of Joiner’s Interpersonal Theory of Suicide
• Label and describe the components of effective crisis intervention.
• Name the components of a complete safety plan
• Learn how screening with the C-SSRS can be used to identify at-risk individuals and identify steps to implement a comprehensive screening program that includes targeted and public health approaches to prevention.
• Learn how to use the C-SSRS, to identify suicidal ideation and behavior to improved identification, which ultimately saves lives.
• Build a treatment plan for a client reporting HI.
• Implement skills from evidence based models to address HI.
• Learn the types of suicidal ideation and the four behaviors that are predictive of imminent risk, how to administer the C-SSRS full and screener scales and list long and short-term risk and protective factors.
