This is such an amazing valuable comprehensive resource laden course. I want to learn CAMS, ZeroSuicide, Brief-Cope, the suicide program for adolescents at the University of Michigan resource, the inventory on critical life events. I have done ASSIST training and spent 3 months in training preparing to work as volunteer 2 nights a week at the Didi Hirsch Suicide Prevention Crisis line (one and half years) because of the suicidal loss of my brother and best friend. To be there in the moment with the suffering of the client is the key. I love this approach, the review of psychological, biological, social, and spiritual, the important breakdown of the tasks to do with client. Thank you so very much.

Thank you Amanda for creating this Suicide CEU class, it was helpful to know new facts about suicide, our profession and how we all need to keep learning especially about this topic.

I am glad I got the opportunity to take this course. I am currently getting supervised and studying for my LCSW so this course was relevant to information and felt me more prepared while doing my own studying.

This training was great in reducing the anxiety when confronted with addressing suicide ideation with clients. This approached allowed me to sit with my own discomfort and be more confident in addressing the ideation and managing the Courage to Live continuum.

I've worked in the field of social work for over ten years, including working with assessing clients who are suicidal, but now after taking this course, I finally feel competent in managing a suicidal client.

A very helpful reminder how important it is to not shy away from our clients' pain

This course did a fabulous job bridging the gap between clinical training I've received so far and how to implement what I've learned with a humanistic approach. Many clients have given me feedback that other approaches I've used have felt too cold and clinical, too focused on checking off my to-do list to make sure I don't get sued or that my client does not die. This approach still acknowledges the important factors that go into assessment and management, but it adds the component of how to actually sit with a client in their pain and suffering while also developing a level of gratitude and eagerness in exploring their reasons for considering suicide.

Fantastic course that all therapists can benefit from!

Amazing!! Thank you for all you are doing to help our field!

I love the course as it helped me understand the importance of addressing suicide and not running away from it. I agree that there is a need in my life and practice to have a better understanding of how to help someone with suicidal ideation. Perfect timing and instruction for me.
