Evidence-Based Practice<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Suicide Risk Assessment and Safety Planning<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Suicide Risk Assessment and Safety Planning training equips clinicians with a structured, evidence-based model for conducting suicide risk assessments and collaboratively building safety plans with individuals in real-world clinical settings \u2014 moving beyond checkbox compliance toward genuinely empowering intervention.<\/p>\n

Rooted in Crisis Response Planning (CRP), this one-day training gives practitioners the skills and confidence to engage individuals in honest, personalized conversations about suicide risk and to co-create safety plans that individuals actually use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What is Suicide Risk Assessment and Safety Planning?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Training in evidence-based suicide risk assessment and safety planning provides a model for implementing suicide intervention in real-world clinic settings. Training is rooted in Crisis Response Planning (CRP), a method developed by Bryan et al. (2017) in which individuals collaborate with clinicians to identify personalized risk factors and build a unique and empowering safety plan.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional safety planning approaches, CRP emphasizes personalized coping techniques and methods for monitoring and enhancing coping over time. The result is a safety plan that reflects the individual's own language, values, and strengths \u2014 making it more likely to be used in a moment of crisis.<\/p>\n

CRP is based on an empirically supported theoretical model and has been shown to reduce suicide attempts in controlled research trials, making it appropriate for clinicians across behavioral health settings who conduct risk assessments or work with individuals at elevated risk for suicide.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
