Treating the Suicidal Client: Beyond the Safety Plan Suicidal ideation requires more than just risk assessments and safety plans—it requires structured, evidence-based intervention. In this three-hour professional development training, I will guide you through a 10-session treatment plan specifically designed to address suicidal ideation, based on the work of Dr Aaron T. Beck. I had the privilege of learning this approach firsthand at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia over a decade ago, and I am bringing this structured, practical treatment protocol to you. What You’ll Learn: ✅ Assessing suicide risk and self-harm behaviours – key factors to evaluate. ✅ Designating risk levels (low, medium, high) – and implementing a basic safety plan. ✅ When to use this treatment protocol – and when it’s appropriate to address suicidal ideation indirectly. ✅ Implementing CBT for Suicidal Ideation – a structured, targeted approach different from standard CBT. ✅ How to design a 10-session treatment plan – structured strategies to reduce suicide risk. ✅ Troubleshooting & advanced techniques – what to do when therapy feels stuck. ✅ Recognising readiness for transition – when to shift focus back to other symptoms and therapy goals. Who Is This For? 🔹 Psychologists, therapists, and mental health professionals working with suicidal clients. 🔹 Clinicians seeking practical, evidence-based tools beyond standard safety planning. 🔹 Mental health professionals looking to increase confidence in managing and treating suicidal ideation. Access & Resources: ✔ 3 CPD hours ✔ One-year access to the recording ✔ Downloadable slides included This training is essential for clinicians who want practical, structured strategies for working with suicidal ideation beyond safety planning.
