This workshop focuses on the importance of thoughtful suicide assessment throughout the process of trauma treatment. Suicide and adversity are closely related. Trauma survivors have much higher rates of suicide attempts than others. Suicide is often an attempt to escape the pain and suffering associated with past adversity and current traumatic stress or grief. The process of engaging clients in trauma therapy while continuously assessing for suicidality is delicate but essential. As we assist clients in addressing the wounds of past adversity, we must be thoughtful in helping to keep them within their window of tolerance. This workshop will explore this balance, draw connections between trauma and suicide, and discuss the basics of suicide assessment.

Learning Objectives:

1. Differentiate between suicidal thoughts, plans, and intentions
2. Describe one connection between trauma and suicide
3. Explain how the process of engaging in trauma therapy could increase or decrease suicidality

If you are seeking a workshop for personal growth or seeking a professional training event that is entirely didactic (lecture/powerpoint), this is probably not the best workshop for you.
