Beyond the Screen: Suicide Risk Assessment & Intervention in Telehealth Settings (4 CE Hours)
Suicide intervention doesn’t pause when therapy goes virtual—and neither can your skills. This 4 hour CE course equips mental health professionals with the confidence, structure, and nuance needed to assess and intervene with suicidal clients entirely through telehealth. Using current research and real case examples, the course offers a practical framework for recognizing warning signs on camera, administering tools like the C-SSRS, creating collaborative digital safety plans, and managing crises when the screen is your only point of contact.
Across four focused modules, you’ll learn to identify ideation through subtle online cues, apply standardized telehealth risk protocols, build interactive safety plans clients actually use, and integrate peer-support strategies to boost engagement for isolated or high-risk clients. Through demos, guided practice, and crisis simulations, you’ll develop a reliable telehealth toolkit that protects your clients—and your clinical judgment.
