About the Course

In this recorded webinar, various treatment approaches will be discussed. We will explore how CBT suicide mode and interventions of cognitive evaluation of unhelpful beliefs can help individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to suicidal ideation. We will also cover the five DBT skills using mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation which can help individuals cope with intense emotions and manage distressing situations. Additionally, we’ll discuss how ACT principles offer a unique perspective on responding to suicidality, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and values-based living in the face of difficult emotions and experiences. Clinicians will be encouraged to examine their current practices around treating suicidality. Attention will be given to exploring the clinician’s emotional burden in treating suicidal clients, and best practices when a client dies by suicide or is a survivor of suicide. Case vignettes, video clips and discussion will provide learners with an opportunity to practice skills.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Exploring Evidenced-Based Therapies for Suicide created by Diane Bigler, LCSW, LSCSW in 2023.
