Crisis 101: Workshop for therapists in private practice

Crisis 101: A Workshop For Mental Health Professionals in Private Practice

Do you dread the day a client tells you they’re suicidal?
Have you felt lost or frozen with a client in crisis?

Crisis can be a moment of opportunity and at the same time frightening and disorienting for both clinicians and clients. By definition, it is hard to know what to expect, so it’s important to be prepared.

In this workshop learn how to effectively support clients through a psychiatric emergency:
• Screen for clients who are at risk of a mental health crisis
• Design comprehensive safety plans
• Write an M1 psychiatric hold for clients in imminent risk of suicide or homicide
• Navigate the systems involved in a psychiatric emergency
• Coordinate effectively with police, psychiatric emergency evaluators, and hospitals
• Get templates and flowcharts to help with the decision making process

Cost: $45 Some partial scholarships available based on need.
Pre-registration required, workshop limited to 20 participants.
