Mental health clinicians working at every level of treatment must be able to quickly and effectively assess the risk of client suicide and intervene appropriately.  This webinar will provide a review of the prevalence and risk factors associated with suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide completion in adolescents.  It will also provide an overview of helpful assessment tools and strategies as well as interventions.  Multiple case examples will be used throughout the webinar to illustrate and clarify information provided.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Define active vs. passive suicidal ideation and identify at least two appropriate interventions for each.
• Identify permissible exceptions to client confidentiality in cases of potential suicide.
• Cite at least two components of effective safety planning with a suicidal adolescent client.
