Evaluating Suicide Risk In Youth: The Risk Identification Suicide Kit2+ – Live Webinar

Description:
Are schools and mental health practitioners asking the right questions or using validated assessment tools to determine suicide risk levels in youth? Research tells us, probably not. Practitioners will be called to initially triage a suicidal youth to determine levels of interventions. The practitioner’s preparedness can determine what action steps are needed, understanding the many pitfalls, litigation, and decisions that await along this process.

A review of current trends, understanding of the suicide continuum (from age 13) and suicide reactive continuum (from age 4) will be shared. There are only a few pathways an assessment can lead; towards a path of recovery, management, and or death. The ultimate goal is to lead the youth and family towards a path of recovery and a desire to choose living.
