Assessing, Treating, & Managing Suicidal Clients
Assessing, Treating, & Managing Suicidal Clients is organized by J&K Seminars. This course has been approved for a maximum of 1 CE Hours.

The discussion will focus on suicidal clients, with special attention to risk assessment and intervention.

Participants will be able to describe:
• Factors that are helpful in evaluating and assessing the risk of suicide.
• Clinical, ethical, and legal issues involved with the management and treatment of clients who threaten to harm themselves.
• The importance of training and consultation with colleagues around these issues.
