During this training, participants will review their roles in assessing and intervening to prevent suicide as defined by professional organizational ethics and legal statutes while in counseling or therapy sessions. They will also view current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) statistics identifying demographic trends of suicide completion and exploring the most lethal methods of suicide attempts. Participants will learn to identify risk and protective factors for suicide as defined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). They will also be introduced to Thomas Joiner’s Interpersonal Theory of Suicide and Joyce Chu’s Cultural Theory and Model of Suicide for Youth to better understand drivers for suicide.
