The “ASK” Workshop – Assessing for Suicide in Kids

This one day workshop challenges commonly held notions about children’s capacity to consider suicide. It facilitates awareness of the signs that a young child may be at risk and what is needed to help. Designed for those working with kids between the ages of 5-14.

Some of the content of the “”ASK” workshop:

• A research based definition of suicidality in children.
• How a child’s understanding of death is linked to suicide risk.
• Key questions helpers need to ask a child to assess risk.
• Learn through lecture, discussion, video, case studies.
• Personality traits commonly seen in children at risk.
• How to talk with a child about death and suicide.
• How to align with parents and others who can create safety.

Price includes refreshments, materials, and certificate of completion.

Although not required, training in safeTALK or ASIST are highly recommended.
