This workshop is designed to help you understand the scope of this issue and learn proven techniques you can use to help those struggling with suicidal thinking. During the workshop, you will learn the warning signs of suicide and what to do if an individual displays warning signs. You will practice using a risk assessment tool as you assess profiles of people at risk for self harm. Intervention skills will be practiced as you use the communication techniques described to interact with a person in a mock situation. A question and answer session will provide time for discussion of situations you have encountered.

Developed from the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's guidelines, a program of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
