Course Description
Working with suicidal ideation requires more than completing a risk assessment or drafting a safety plan. It requires a structured and targeted intervention approach.
This professional development training teaches a practical, session-by-session treatment framework based on the work of Dr Aaron T. Beck. The focus is on implementing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Suicidal Ideation as a distinct protocol, rather than relying on standard CBT strategies alone.
You will learn how to assess and stratify risk, determine when this structured approach is indicated, and implement a clear 10-session treatment plan designed to reduce suicidal ideation and strengthen protective factors.
Drawing on advanced training at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia, this course provides a structured, clinically grounded method for managing suicidal ideation with greater confidence and clarity.
