This full-day training is designed to increase knowledge and improve the skills and confidence of clinicians and others who work in behavioral health settings and who routinely assess for suicidal thoughts and behaviors in youth and adults and plan for their care. This clinician-developed training is based on current research and best practices and reflects the training objectives in the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention as well as the elements of SPRC’s Comprehensive Approach to Suicide Prevention. Published evaluations of the training demonstrate increased knowledge, confidence, and changes in practice behaviors among
participants. The program has recently been piloted as training for graduate level trainees who are entering mental health professions.
