Description:
This three-day experiential workshop will provide an overview of evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies that can be utilized for the treatment of patients with depression and suicidal ideation/behavior. The course will review fundamentals of Aaron Beck’s cognitive behavioral model as applied to both depression and suicide, cognitive behavioral strategies for structuring sessions, including setting a collaborative agenda, and under-standing transdiagnostic outpatient protocols in Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CT-SP).
Specific techniques central to this approach will be emphasized, including assessing and engaging treatment motivation, conducting ongoing suicide risk assessment, supporting patients in telling their suicide narrative, developing a safety plan, building skills such as cognitive restructuring, distress tolerance, and problem solving, instilling hope, and preventing relapse. Attendees will practice learned strategies through demonstrations and break-out sessions.
This training meets the requirements for 18 CEUs for Nebraska and Iowa licensed mental health practitioners, social workers, and professional counselors. Please note that these CEUs have not been approved by a nationally accredited organization.
