This conference is designed for licensed behavioral health providers who are interested in learning suicide assessment competencies. Current national and local suicide statistics and trends will be reviewed and discussed. The evidenced-based suicide assessment tool, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale Lifetime Recent Clinical Version (C-SSRS), will then be introduced.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn the C-SSRS at a pace that allows for discussion and a question-and-answer period. The content will be enhanced through the use of video demonstrations. Finally, all participants will have the opportunity to practice using the C-SSRS in a safe and supportive environment.

At the end of the training participants will leave with an understanding of the C-SSRS as well as a list of local resources to assist when working with patients experiencing suicidality.
