This is a 4 CE course for the Hospital or Primary Care Psychologist or Physician with responsibility to assess and manage suicidal patients. Doctors assessing for suicide must know risk factors, protective factors, sub-population incidence and prevalence, short assessment techniques and questionnaires for "screening", and longer and in depth diagnostics capable of both further differentiating risk and establishing diagnostic for adequate treatment planning.
This course provides these tools and techniques and linkage to technologies and science that is helpful.
There is perhaps no more important skill set, competency, and responsibility of the mental health and substance abuse professional, clinical director, house officer, or emergency department specialist. Every supervisor and trainer needs these skills.
