It is time to think about safety planning in a new way! A holistic idea of safety that includes spiritual, sexual, economic, social, relational, physical, and psychological aspects of people allows for the creation of more effective and personalized care. The idea of safety planning is not disparate from treatment planning and, as research has shown, is only effective when integrated with treatment. This presentation will teach practitioners how to create meaningful treatment/safety plans that will increase insight and autonomy in individuals and families by looking at the history of safety planning, obstacles to successful implementations, current research, and instruction on how to create their own safety plan.
Objectives:
a). Describe the history of safety planning.
b). Name at least two strategies to get “buy in” from clients before completing safety plans.
c). Learn and practice completing a client safety plan.
Target Audience:
The target audience for this event includes psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed counselors, MFT’s, and other clinical mental health professionals.

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.
Objectives:
a). Integrate the L-RAMP as a suicide assessment tool into clinical practice.
b). Report increased knowledge and skill set on how to use the L-RAMP for clients with suicidal ideations, gestures, and attempts.
c). Assess for use of the L-RAMP in clinical practice.
d). Complete case scenarios using L-RAMP.
Target Audience:
The target audience for this event includes psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed counselors, MFT’s, and other clinical mental health professionals.
