[REGISTRATION CLOSED] Suicide Bereavement Clinician Training

The suicide of a loved one can have a profound and devastating impact on those left behind, called suicide loss survivors. Bereavement may entail high levels of disorientation, guilt, regret, anger, shame, and trauma. Suicide loss survivors often need a level of support that goes beyond traditional grief counseling.

This workshop is designed for mental health professionals who may provide grief therapy for suicide loss survivors. It will provide a focused overview of the impact of suicide on survivors, and the clinical and support responses needed after a suicide occurs.

Participants will learn to:

• Offer a working definition of a suicide survivor

• Identify at least five common themes in the impact of suicide on survivors

• List tasks of psychological reintegration after suicide

• Identify strategies to assess risk

• Describe several options for intervention with survivors

• Describe three categories of clinical technique with survivors
