Easton Elks Lodge # 1622

<h3>About the Training</h3><h3>Are schools and mental health practitioners asking the right questions or using validated assessment tools to determine suicide risk levels in youth? Research tells us, probably not. Practitioners will be called to initially triage a suicidal youth to determine levels of interventions. The practitioner’s preparedness can determine what action steps are needed, understanding the many pitfalls, litigation, and decisions that await along this process. Training will be provided on the use of the Risk Identification Suicide Kit2+ (RISK2+), Second Edition.</h3><h3>This presentation will share how preparation percentages identified among mental health practitioners impacts the confidence and decision-making process when meeting with a youth presenting with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A review of current trends, understanding of the suicide continuum (from age 13) and suicide reactive continuum (from age 4) will be shared. There are only a few pathways an assessment can lead; towards a path of recovery, management, and or death. The ultimate goal is to lead the youth and family towards a path of recovery and a desire to choose living. This presentation will support and empower school and mental health practitioners by expanding skills sets and intervention considerations along the suicide assessment process.</h3><p><br></p>
