About this Event
This two-day workshop will be most helpful for clinical mental health pracitioners working with young people in area mental health and well-being services.
Working with young people at risk of suicide or self-harm presents complex challenges. You will learn and practice techniques from specific models such as the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE) approach, and the Pisani risk formulation model that emphasises prevention over prediction. This workshop will review contemporary concepts, and themes about working with suicide and self-harm and how they relate to working with young people with complex presentations.
At the completion of this two-day workshop, you will be able to:
- describe the usefulness and limitations of risk assessment frameworks.
- apply skills of the CASE approach to exploring suicidal intent.
- document and communicate risk formulations and safety plans more effectively with young people, their families, and the broader system.
- apply risk prevention principles when working with challenging presentations
