Training Description:
The Chesterfield Suicide Awareness & Prevention Coalition, Emotionally Naked LLC and FACES present this workshop led by Kimberly O’Brien, PhD, LICSW, a Clinical Social Worker at Boston Children’s Hospital, a Research Scientist, and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Her clinical practice serves adolescent and young adult athletes with mental health concerns.
Clinicians can decrease a patient’s suicide risk by knowing what to look for, how to do a suicide risk assessment, and a suicide safety plan. In addition, the training will cover tips on how to get young people to communicate their pain so they get the support they need.
This workshop will give clinicians the confidence to support those struggling with thoughts of suicide from a leading practitioner, Dr. Kim O’Brien who was part of the team who developed an evidence-based safety plan for youth, and parents because they need a road map on what to do and how to support a child who is struggling.
Anne Moss Rogers, who is a mental health speaker and suicide prevention trainer will tell her personal story of losing a son to suicide and what she wishes she knew, what clinicians can do to get the family engaged with supporting a child in crisis, and how she healed from the most devastating loss of her life.
