You’ll feel transformed in the way you think about suicidal clients, and the way you think about yourself as a helping professional and human being.
Discover how to decrease clients’ sense of isolation, and effectively utilize innovative techniques to restore hope. Role playing and hands-on exercises will give you the opportunity to practice new strategies in a safe, supportive environment.
