This multidisciplinary, evidence-based program focuses on supporting adolescents experiencing distress, self-harm and suicidality. Designed for clinicians working with young people, it builds on existing skills and confidence in suicide risk assessment, safety planning and post-attempt care.
The program is delivered through a blended learning format combining self-paced eLearning with interactive online workshops. Participants complete four modules covering the suicidal crisis, assessing and managing risk, self-harm, after a suicide attempt, and clinician self-care. A strong emphasis is placed on collaborative, team-based approaches to care.
