In this presentation, Jennifer Cisney Ellers describes factors that increase suicide risk, as well as common methods, risk factors, and ways to help.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0102: Choosing to Die: A Model of Understanding<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nJennifer Cisney Ellers reviews Dr. Thomas Joiner\u2019s model of understanding how and why suicide occurs. It is important for caregivers to provide preventative support, education and training in these situations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0103: A Theology of Suicide: Biblical Principles and a Christian Response<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOur Christian response to suicide needs to be one of confronting bad theology and\u00a0<\/span>thinking;<\/span>\u00a0encouraging people against using trite statements and, instead, urging good theology and practices; and practicing the ministry of presence. Ultimately, we can trust the Lord and know His love is powerful.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0104: Mental Illness and the Epidemiology of Suicide<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSuicide is a complex issue with multiple contributing genetic and environmental factors.

Technology is everywhere and impacts how we relate to the people around us. This extensive technology brings negative influences on our lives. More and more people are fitting into the category of languishing rather than flourishing and thriving. An epidemic of loneliness and isolation is leading to an increase in suicide.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0106: The Ethics of Suicide Intervention<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDuring ethical decision making, the mental health provider should identify the problem and potential issues involved, know and review all ethics codes, laws, regulations and policies, obtain consultation, consider all possible courses of action, choose what appears to be the best course and follow through, and document the process and outcomes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0107: Suicide Prevention and Intervention with Adults<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis lecture is critical for anyone working with adults in a caregiving setting.

Today\u2019s youth may engage in SMB to stop bad feelings, feel something (even if it is pain), punish themselves, relieve feelings of numbness or emptiness, feel relaxed, or give themselves something to do when alone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0109: Conducting a Suicide Assessment: Using the Safe-T Model (with role plays)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn this session, Dr. Gary Sibcy reviews and unpacks the Safe-T 5 Step Evaluation & Triage System for Suicide Assessment developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the American Psychological Association (APA). Through three role plays, Dr. Sibcy demonstrates how to use this method with clients of varying suicide risk level.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0110: Families in Crisis: The First 48 Hours Following Suicide<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDiscovering the body of someone who has committed suicide or receiving a death notification can be traumatic to the point that the chemistry of the brain changes in the immediate aftermath. Throughout this tumultuous time, caregivers can provide emotional and practical support that minimizes further secondary wounds to survivors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0111: Grieving a Suicide: Long-term Support for Survivors and Loved Ones<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn this session, Jennifer Cisney Ellers and Dr. Eric Scalise will describe the complicated grief that follows a suicide and the experience of survivors. Strategies to facilitate healthy grieving and healing are outlined. Viewers will also learn what is unhelpful and how to avoid responses that cause further alienation and shame for survivors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSUI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0112: Caregivers in Crisis: When Clients Take Their Lives<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCounselors who have lost a client to suicide often describe the event as one of the most profoundly difficult experiences of their professional careers. In this session, you will learn how to prepare or care for yourself in the event of a client\u2019s suicide, and you will learn how to care for other clinicians who have experienced this devastating event<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Suicide Prevention 201″ icon_color=”#C64944″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”32px” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_bottom=”0px” border_color_bottom=”#C64944″ global_colors_info=”{}” height__hover_enabled=”on|hover” border_width_bottom__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” border_width_bottom__hover=”10px” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Trauma-informed coaches are knowledgeable about the tell-tale signs of trauma but are not qualified to treat trauma.

There are several differences between a coach and a therapist, though the most notable distinction is that therapists are licensed professionals while coaches are not. As such, the treatment strategies of therapists differ from those used by coaches.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhile therapists often seek to help their clients recover from mental illness.
