Assessment & Management of Suicidal Clients (DBT - 3)
Presented by Michele Galietta, PhD
This on-demand professional training program on Assessment and Management of Suicidal Clients is part of our Certification training and is presented by Michele Galietta, Ph.D.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was initially developed for patients with multiple problems, whose therapeutic progress was often hindered by their complex clinical presentations and indefinite challenges, including chronic suicidality. DBT is one of only a few evidence-based treatments effective in reducing suicidal ideation and behaviors. In DBT, self-harm is viewed as an individual’s attempt to cope with or solve a problem, typically intense emotional pain that they feel they cannot change or tolerate. To reduce suicide risk, DBT providers must help individuals identify and implement adaptive solutions (i.e., DBT skills) to the problem. Mental health professionals cannot effectively intervene to reduce suicide risk unless it is known that suicide risk is present. Therefore, this program will teach participants to conduct suicide risk assessments using an evidence-based approach. In addition, participants will learn how to assess direct indicators of suicide risk, indirect indicators of suicide risk, and protective factors. Lastly, this program will teach DBT providers how to monitor suicidal thoughts and urges so that they can intervene when the risk for self-harm is high and examine variables that lead to increased or decreased suicidal thoughts/behaviors over time.
