Crisis Intervention/Suicide

Course description

Persons with mental illness may experience episodes of crisis when the acute aspects of their illness exceed coping mechanisms. In this course, students examine the growing evidence-based and values-informed knowledge that guides clinical practice. In doing so, students develop a deeper understanding of crisis intervention including strategies for determining risk for self-harm, stabilizing and de-escalating techniques. Services and practice models in crisis intervention and suicide prevention are also explored.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
