For those involved in clinical practice, this workshop will address working with people who are suicidal, including prevention, intervention and postvention issues. This will include evaluation of risk and protective factors, evidence-based treatments, legal and clinical standards of care, and the impact of factors such as childhood trauma, social media, bullying, culture, chronic or terminal illness and access to lethal means on practice. We will learn two evidence-based interventions for those with suicidal thinking. We will also consider guidelines for responding to families, clinicians and the community after a suicide.
