Youth coming to the Alameda County Assessment Center have often gone through a recent traumatic event which may result in suicidal ideation or behaviors. Providers attending this training will learn methods of assessing youth for risk of suicide or other self-harm, identify warning signs, and protective factors. Participants will learn about the Pediatric Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale and Suicide Assessment Five Step Evaluation and Triage approach. Participants will also practice how to intervene to address the youth’s immediate safety and treatment needs.
