NEST Grand Rounds Series- Foundations of Youth Suicidality & Self-Harm: Trends, Risk/Protective Fact
|
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 provides a shared clinical foundation for understanding youth suicidality and self-harm, including key trends, risk and protective factors, and common pathways that maintain suicidal thinking and self-harm behaviors. Emphasis is placed on clear language, conceptual clarity (including distinctions between non-suicidal self-injury and suicide attempts), and a practical framework for thinking about acute versus chronic risk. 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
