  • Event Information
    NEST Grand Rounds Series- Clinical Assessment of Youth Suicidality & Self-Harm: Structured Interview
    This three-part Grand Rounds series equips school-based and outpatient clinicians with a practical, defensible framework for identifying, assessing, and treating youth suicidality and self-harm. Across sessions, participants will strengthen skills in structured risk interviewing, documentation and disposition decision-making, collaborative safety planning, lethal means counseling, and school-linked follow-up and aftercare.
     
    Description:
    This session trains participants to conduct a structured, stepwise suicide risk assessment that moves from ideation to intent, plan, preparation, capability, and means access. Participants will learn how to synthesize risk information (including acute versus chronic drivers), determine disposition thresholds, and document assessment and clinical reasoning in a clear, defensible manner.

    Continuing Education: Through the NEST Clinic, we can offer CE credits for LSW/LCSW, LPC, and LMFT, Act 48 credit for these sessions.

    Pricing:
    • $30 per session
    • CSIU staff complimentary
    Target Audience
    LCSWs/LSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, psychologists, psychiatrists, school social workers, and other school-based staff who support student mental health
    Learner Outcomes

    • Gather and integrate collateral and contextual information (caregivers, school, records) to improve accuracy and safety.
    • Formulate risk in a clinically useful way and apply practical disposition thresholds (supervision feasibility, means control, collaboration with plan).
    • Document risk assessment, decision-making, and disposition in a way that supports continuity of care and risk management.
