Working with high-risk clients in private practice can, at times, be overwhelming.
With over 25 years of experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention, gained through my work with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), I've witnessed the transformative impact of effective training on saving lives.
Whether you're directly working with individuals at risk of suicide or not, encountering clients experiencing suicidal ideation is an inevitable aspect of practice. My goal is to provide accessible and practical training that equips you with the confidence and competence needed to navigate these challenging situations with peace of mind. We owe it to our clients to enhance our practice in ways that can make a meaningful difference.
