Suicide Assessment Resources for Denver, CO, Professionals
Croswaite Counseling PLLC works with mental health professionals in the Denver, CO, area to provide suicide assessment education and resources.
Working with a suicidal client can be difficult for mental health professionals, and all the training and professional development in the world may not be enough to prepare you for the risk of losing a client to suicide. Access our resources to strengthen care for your clients and for yourself during these hard times.
Suicide Prevention Resources
Our suicide prevention resources include videos and safety plan templates to help you work with your client to address suicidal thoughts. Our featured videos are free to download so that you never need to worry about not being able to access the resources you need. Learn how to develop a safety plan and communicate safety needs effectively in collaboration with your client.
We offer a list of seven tips that can help you work with a suicidal client and understand how suicidal ideation can progress and change over time. You can learn how to stay present and handle the situation in front of you rather than jumping to a worst-case scenario.
You can also enroll in our online suicide assessment course to give you the tools you need to evaluate a client who is struggling with suicidal thoughts or ideation. And it’s worth 4.0 CEs for counselors!
With your newfound confidence in your clinical skills for suicide, you may also use our suicide risk assessment tool for mental health professionals. Streamline your process with this tool to assess for suicide risks, screen for shifts in suicidal thoughts, identify professional referrals, and access resources across Colorado.
