DESCRIPTION : Why do the numbers in Wisconsin continue to either rise, or stay the same, when most of the country is seeing a decline in child/adolescent suicide? Who are we missing? The “One's We Miss” are most often children in out of home car and youth who are bullied. We certainly have a basic understanding of suicide, and what to do about it, but yet it continues to be a challenge. This training will address these questions and also provide you with ideas for case planning when working with families where suicidal behaviors and ideations continue to be challenging. This 6 hour training will include lecture, handouts, small group discussions and development of a system of care and crisis plan as part of case planning.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand the phenomenology of suicide and its impact on children and adolescents.

  • Understand the warning signs, risk factors, and also protective factors of suicide when assessing children and families.
