BONUS Recording – the training is recorded, in case anyone experiences technical difficulties, so you also get a recording for a limited time afterwards to maximise your learning. Why take this suicide prevention course Suicide can be a difficult subject to broach and a daunting one to deal with – anyone working with distressed or depressed people wants to keep them safe, to give them the hope they need that circumstances can change for the better, and to provide the skills for coping until that comes about. When people can’t envisage an end to their difficulties, particularly in highly challenging times, a slump into depression can all too quickly spiral down into suicidal thoughts, plans and suicide attempts. The negative trance state of depression itself can beguile people into thinking that there is no other way out of their hopelessness. Thankfully, there is much we can do to help – as this indepth suicide intervention course shows. Tutor Malcolm Hanson has a wealth of experience at helping seriously distressed people get through difficulties which he draws upon as he takes you clearly through the steps to take when faced with anyone who feels suicidal. (He worked for 9 years as a psychotherapist in NHS primary care in an area of extreme deprivation, and for many more years since has seen patients referred by GPs, social workers, psychiatrists, police and probation officers for complex issues.) He has successfully helped clients experiencing multiple trauma (including veterans), chronic pain and terminal illness, clients struggling with uncertain asylum status or facing deportation, and also victims of human trafficking – a tragic range of circumstances in which even the most resilient may sometimes sink into despair. His compassion and understanding shine through this course as he shares with you what he has learnt, along with the latest psychiatric research and risk assessment strategies, to give you the knowledge and assurance you need to work confidently and respectfully with clients struggling to find reasons to stay alive. You will learn how to build in expectation of positive change from the start, have plenty of time to benefit from group discussions and will work through case scenarios with other attendees to help embed your learning. Suicide affects countless people, not only those directly involved, and is now the most common cause of death in men aged 17 to 34. The highest suicide rate is in men aged 45–49; in women, it is highest in those aged between 50–54.1 Join us for this practical online suicide prevention training to learn how you can help reverse this state of affairs… Book your place So much helpful and insightful information delivered in a way that was easy to listen to and take on board...STEVEN TESSEYMAN What will you learn Deeper insight into when and why different people consider suicide Crucial elements needed to build rapport with suicidal people Why most suicidal crises are surprisingly temporary How to normalise circumstances safely A model for running therapeutic sessions that best manages suicide risk Ways to use your own demeanour to instil confidence in the person who is feeling suicidal Effective information gathering to challenge unhelpful beliefs What to look for in their answers to your questions How to broach the subject of suicidal thoughts A structure for difficult conversations The ability to reframe unhelpful beliefs Methods of risk assessment that do not risk losing rapport Advances in psychiatric research on suicide risk management and the implications of this for psychotherapy and counselling How to use language of influence Effective means to address beliefs about being a burden How to set realistic and empowering goals How to make best use of the client’s own resources The importance of addressing emotional needs How to create a safety plan Strategies for client safe self-management between sessions The power of guided imagery for working with suicidal clients Powerful insights and hope from real case histories How to take care of yourself – and more… Malcolm is a wonderful communicator: so clear, measured and thoughtful ... it was a pleasure and privilege to learn from himMATTHEW HOPKINS Course Programme The ‘How To Reduce Suicide Risk’ live online course starts at 9.15am and runs until 4.00pm. 9.15am Join the Zoom meeting 9.30am The important first steps for suicide risk management 11.00am Comfort break and discussion 11.30am Working with what the client brings 1.00pm Lunch break 1.45pm Rehearsing the safety plan 2.45pm Comfort break and discussion 3.00pm Putting what you have learned into practice 4.00pm Day ends Who is this suicide awareness and prevention course for?
