A Strengths-Based Approach to Suicidality: Crucial Strategies to Integrate in Your Practice

Standard - $129.99 $68.89 Anniversary Sale 2026 - 47% off!

Most therapists agree: no clinical tasks are more stressful than suicide assessment and treatment planning. When working with people who are suicidal, it’s all-too-easy for clinicians to overfocus on psychopathology and experience feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. However, framing suicidal ideation as an unparalleled opportunity to help alleviate your client’s deep psychological pain, and embracing a strengths-based orientation, you can relieve some of your own anxiety. In this practice-oriented session, you’ll discover:

  • How strengths-based principles can work in concert with traditional suicide-assessment competencies
  • The limits of traditional suicide risk-factor assessment and the benefits of therapist-client collaboration with three specific therapeutic assessment strategies
  • Emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual suicide drivers and corresponding treatment interventions
  • Wellness and mood management, evidence-based, positive psychology interventions you can use with your clients and with yourself

Here's What You'll Learn


  • Common cognitive and emotional reactions to client suicide disclosure
  • Traditional and strengths-based principles in suicide assessment and treatment
  • Strengths-based suicide assessment strategies and techniques
  • Holistic suicide assessment and treatment: Drivers and interventions in the seven dimensions
  • Evidence-based happiness strategies for clinicians and clients

Everything You're Getting


  • More than 2 hours of video content
  • CE information to come
  • Handouts and resources
