This eLearning serves as an introductory course to orient learners to core clinical competencies and practices aligned with the ‘train’ element of the Zero Suicide framework. It may be useful for mental health, alcohol and other drug service providers.
The course represents a philosophical shift in the treatment of suicidality within mental health, alcohol and other drug services. This includes a shift away from prediction towards prevention, and from clinician-oriented treatment towards a collaborative process of engagement and care planning that conceptualises suicide as a behaviour requiring targeted intervention.
Key content in this eLearning includes:
- Skills for building a therapeutic alliance with a suicidal person and their families
- Myths and facts about suicide
- Risk and protective factors for suicide
- Introduction to the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE)
- Developing a prevention-oriented risk formulation
- Collaborative safety and care planning
