No one therapist can say, “I don’t work with suicide!” If we do say this, then we are probably in denial or naïve, as everyone walking into our practice with a problem is a potential suicide. Very few training programmes offer extensive training in working with suicidality. Attend this three-day workshop in understanding suicide and suicide intervention to be equipped to effectively work with individuals who are suicidal, as well as their families.

NB: The attainment of CEUs or CPD points does not license any professional to practise outside of their scope or competency. CPD training is intended to broaden the knowledge of professionals and does not constitute professional training. The responsibility to practise within their relevant scope remains with the professional, regardless of what CPD training they attend.
