Many clinicians are trained to assess and respond to imminent risk. But what happens when a client remains chronically suicidal—without clear escalation? You may feel stuck in repetitive safety planning, unsure how much risk is “acceptable,” concerned about liability or documentation, emotionally drained or hypervigilant in sessions. This training is designed for those moments and will help you move beyond crisis-only frameworks and develop a more nuanced, sustainable approach to working with chronic suicidality across the lifespan.
