Live training for mental health professionals

Date: 6-7 December 2021. Delivery: Online live via Zoom. Suicide is a terrible phenomenon with thousands of people taking their own lives in the UK and worldwide, every year, and we don't respond to it especially well: around 50% of people who end their own lives have seen their doctors in the previous week and about 90% in the previous year. To intervene better, we need to be able to spot those who are at risk, to manage the risk (do our best to ensure it doesn't happen), and intervene to help people build a rewarding life long-term. This 2-day course focuses on the first two of those three factors, and is based on APT's acclaimed DICES® programme for risk assessment and management. It focuses purely on the risk of suicide, covering 1. Risk Assessment 2. Risk Management 3. How to verify and demonstrate you have assessed and managed risk and does so in a client-focused way, designed to help the client from the very first moment of contact. Equally, many professionals become anxious about seeing patients who are suicidal, so this course aims also to help us become relaxed and optimistic about seeing suicidal people, because we will know what to do: we will notice them, we will be able to manage their suicidality, we will be able to give them hope for the future.
