A study by the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado, Denver, states that suicide assessment is essential to identify “modifiable and treatable risk factors that inform treatment.” Suicide assessment training helps therapists and mental health professionals use scientific methods to better understand their patients. Online CE Credits offers relevant and up-to-date suicide risk assessment and intervention training online. This program unpacks the Linehan Risk Assessment and Management Protocol (L-RAMP) and its application in suicide assessment and documentation.
Scroll down to discover more about the suicide prevention course.
Suicide assessment and documentation are critical, but sometimes it’s not clear how to do these tasks well. Attend this hands-on workshop to learn the practical application of Linehan Risk Assessment and Management Protocol (L-RAMP), which can be utilized in any clinical setting. This course will walk you through when to use the L-RAMP as an assessment instrument and how to properly document interventions and treatment actions for suicidal clients. While the L-RAMP is an evidenced based suicide risk management strategy used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), there is no requirement or prerequisite for knowing or using DBT in order to begin to use the L-RAMP.
**This is a 2-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**
Agenda:
0:00 – 0:40: Importance of Dialectics in DBT
0:40 – 1:20: DBT Dialectics: Change vs Acceptance
1:20 – 2:00: Research, Preventive Measures, and Suicide Methods
Objectives:
a). After completing this training, participants will be able to integrate the L-RAMP as a suicide assessment tool into clinical practice.
b). After completing this training, participants will be able to report increased knowledge and skill set on how to use the L-RAMP for clients with suicidal ideations, gestures, and attempts.
c). After completing this training, participants will be able to assess for use of the L-RAMP in clinical practice.
d). After completing this training, participants will be able to complete case scenarios using L-RAMP.
