Program Description:
Learn to use brief cognitive behavioral therapy to assess, manage, and treat suicide risk. The first portion of the workshop provides intensive training in core competencies for the clinical care of suicidal patients, including general interpersonal dynamics, standardization of suicide-related terminology, and documentation strategies. The workshop then provides a detailed, step-by-step review of the 12-session brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) treatment protocol. Practical strategies for effective treatment delivery are provided using case examples and video vignettes that illustrate concepts and interventions.
