Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR)

Clinical, NASW-WA Continuing Education Credits, Suicide Prevention, Training

This class is sold out. Please join the waitlist and we will let you know via email if a space becomes available.

Compass Health is offering this one-day workshop for behavioral health professionals that will help them better assess suicide risk, plan treatment, and manage the ongoing care of clients at-risk for suicide.

Behavioral health providers play a crucial role in preventing suicides and yet, many providers report that they feel inadequately trained to assess, treat, and manage suicidal clients. AMSR meets providers’ needs for research-informed, skills-based training. AMSR is appropriate for all mental health professionals including social workers, marriage & family therapists and licensed mental health counselors. AMSR meets the legislative mandate for training under ESHB 2366.

Participants will:

Recognize the 24 core competencies that enable behavioral health professionals to assess and work effectively with individuals at risk of suicide;

Increase their knowledge and skills in eliciting suicide ideation, behavior, plans and intent;

Increase their knowledge and skills in making a clinical judgment of the short and long term risks for suicide; and

Increase their knowledge and skills in developing a treatment & services plan that addresses the client’s immediate, acute and continuing risk for suicidal behaviors

Class size is limited.

AMSR provides 6.5 hours of continuing education (CE) credits by the following boards at no extra charge:

–        American Psychological Association (APA),

–        National Association of Social Workers (NASW)
