    Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk: Core Competencies for Mental Health Professionals

    The workshop focuses on competencies that are core to assessing and managing suicide risk and is a collaboration of the American Association of Suicidology and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.  Participants will be provided pre-workshop reading (about 20 pages) and will earn 6.5 hours of face-to face training, comprised of an engaging mixture of lecture and exercises. Additionally a Participant Manual (75 pages) will be provided to all participants that includes an extensive bibliography for each section in the workshop, the curriculum content itself, workshop exercises, and space for note-taking and journaling.  The course recognizes that complex ethical issues must be considered when providing care to suicidal clients and weaves threads of these discussions throughout the curriculum. Additionally, the course introduces the principles of The Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE), an innovative method for eliciting suicidal ideation. The result is an engaging mixture of lecture, video demonstrations, and exercises that leave clinicians more knowledgeable and confident when faced with suicidal clients. Participants rate this workshop very highly and in overwhelming portions said they would recommend it to their peers. 

     

    Presenter:  Amy M. Shoffner, Psy.D. is a licensed psychologist and founder of Northland Behavioral Health & Wellness. Dr. Shoffner specializes in treatment of mood disorders and Borderline Personality Disorder.  She administers fully adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy with suicidal and self-harming populations with a primary goal to develop a “life worth living.” In 2009 Dr. Shoffner was named “Provider of the Year” by Tri-County Community Mental Health Services.

     

    Learning Objectives

    By completing the required pre-workshop reading, you will:

    • Become familiar with core competencies that enable mental health therapists to assess and work more effectively with individuals at risk for suicide
    • Define terms related to suicidality
    • Become familiar with suicide-related statistics
    • Identify major risk and protective factors
    • Understand the phenomenology of suicide

    By the end of this course, you will:

    • Increase your knowledge in the following core competencies:
      • Manage one’s own reactions to suicide
      • Reconcile the difference (and potential conflict) between the clinician’s goal to prevent suicide and the client’s goal to eliminate psychological pain via suicidal behavior
      • Maintain a collaborative, non-adversarial stance
      • Elicit suicide ideation, behavior, and plans
      • Make a clinical judgment of the risk that a client will attempt or complete suicide in the short and long term
      • Collaboratively develop an emergency plan
      • Develop a written treatment and services plan that addresses the client’s immediate, acute, and continuing suicide ideation and risk for suicide behavior
      • Develop policies and procedures for following clients closely, including taking reasonable steps to be proactive
      • Follow principles of crisis management
    • Experience a shift in perspective in working with individuals at risk for suicide.
      • We expect you will experience changes in perceptions of working with suicidal clients. For example, you may experience an increased willingness, confidence, or clarity in working with individuals at risk for suicide.
    • Identify changes to make in your practice specific to the assessment and management of individuals at risk for suicide.

    Due to the home and community-based location of their work, community support staff and other in-home care providers have unique challenges in maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries with their clients. In this session participants will explore numerous potential pitfalls that can ensnare well-meaning professionals. Discussion of specific problems from participants own experience will be encouraged. The Code of Ethics for Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioners will be used to demonstrate how an ethics code can be beneficial in guiding practice.

    Jan Heumann holds a Bachelors degree in Recreational Therapy and Masters degree in Counseling Psychology. As a 28-year veteran in mental health, her experience includes work as a Recreational Therapist, a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program Supervisor, Community Support Supervisor, Program Director at a Community Mental Health Center, and Training Director for a state-wide University of Missouri Extension project. She is currently the Clinical Director for New Horizons Community Support Services in Columbia, a position she has held for ten years.

    Dr. Epstein’s talk, titled Evaluation of an Interactive Substance Abuse Education Program will discuss outcomes of a study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. With this funding, The Missouri Institute of Mental Health produced a series of media tools designed to teach fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade children from African American churches about the science of drug addiction. Beginning with a core curriculum, we created two separate programs. In the SpaceScouts version of the program, the content is embedded within a narrative storyline delivered via an interactive DVD. In the LockerTalk version of the program, content is delivered in a more didactic form via an interactive CD-ROM. Youth from a dozen churches were randomly assigned to one of these two conditions or a waitlist control. We conducted pretest, post-test, and four- and eight-month follow-up evaluations. We ran an additional sample of youth through our programs during a summer camp. In addition to the outcomes, this presentation will also discuss implications for future substance education efforts.

    To see Dr. Epstein’s talk please join us on July 19th, 2007 at 9:30am CDT.
