Kate Creedy

I would recommentd this training as it directly addresses the issue of risk and what it can mean to experience the worst case scenario of a client commiting suicide and how this can lead to a proactive engagement with this issue in practicing online and in person. It was a thoughtful and rich discussion about risk being an integral part of the therapeutic process and looked at ways to take this knowledge forward into our everyday practice in a positive way. It addressed the impact of risk on ourselves as part of our online work and also when we work in person with vulnerable young people. It was empowering with information and resources being shared that can be accessed online to support the development of practice in working effectively with risk.

Diana Abrahams

Open, helpful discussion with specific relevance and attention to the medium of remote working. Some practical discussions about our tolerance and fears around the myths and challenges of working with suicide. I appreciate the speakers open sharing of their experiences to offer a rich viewpoint based in experience and evidence of their skill within their area of knowledge.
