Clinical Assessment, Intervention, and Treatment of Youth Who are Suicidal
Presenters: David A. Jobes, Ph.D.
Total CE: 3
This presentation will focus on evidence-based approaches to working with young adults, teens, and even children who are suicidal. Major theoretical models will be explored prior to shifting to a more clinical focus on screening/assessing suicidal risk, interventions for acute risk, and treatment for suicidal risk among Youth. Working with parents, ethical considerations, and decreasing malpractice liability will be explored prior to considering a stepped-care clinical approach for suicidal risk that emphasizes evidence-based care, that is least-restrictive, and cost-effective.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the best screening and assessment tools for youth that are suicidal.
- Use interventions that are most effective for stabilizing youth at acute risk for suicide.
- Select treatments for suicidal risk that are supported by randomized controlled trial research.
Clinical Supervision: Inaction Is More Risky Than Action
Presenter: Carol Falender, Ph.D.
Total CE: 1.5
Clinical supervision is increasingly described as the missing element of psychology training due to misunderstanding that leads to risk avoidance outweighing best practices. However, supervision practice is the key not simply to effective client care, but also to the future of psychology as a profession. In this presentation, the state of current supervision from the supervisee perspective will be described and the counterpoint of exemplary supervision practices through lens of cultural humility, efficacy, and evidence-based research.
Learning Objectives
- Describe three aspects of inadequate clinical supervision described in empirical research.
- Identify three best practices relating to effective supervision.
- Explain two aspects of cultural humility in clinical supervision.
Ethical, Clinical, Regulatory and Risk Management Considerations in Telehealth Practice
