How do we respond when a teenager discloses suicidal thoughts in therapy, whether expected or out of the blue? When is it time to involve caregivers, and how do we do so in a way that supports both the adolescent and the family system? Should we hospitalize, or can we safely support them at home?<\/p>

These are some of the most difficult, and most critical, decisions clinicians face. This two-part, interactive webinar series offers practical, evidence-based tools to help you navigate these moments with confidence, clarity, and compassion.<\/p>

In the first session, you’ll learn how to conduct a comprehensive, family-based suicide risk assessment using state-of-the-art procedures and tools. In the second, you’ll discover how to transform a safety plan into a powerful family intervention, one that empowers caregivers and teens alike to manage risk collaboratively.<\/p>

Drawing from the principles of Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), an empirically supported treatment for adolescent depression and suicidality, we will also explore strategies to reduce family resistance, strengthen engagement, and build a therapeutic alliance that supports healing.<\/p>

Through a mix of lecture, clinical demonstrations, experiential exercises, and role-play, this live interactive synchronous distance workshop will equip you with the skills to make sound clinical decisions and ethically grounded interventions in the face of youth suicide risk.<\/p>
