Description: Join us for an interactive virtual training designed specifically for aging service professionals working with older adults in community-based settings and programs.

Treating suicidality can feel daunting, even for the most seasoned clinicians. This session strives to increase competence and confidence in navigating suicidal thoughts and behavior with clients. We will examine current data, the language of suicide, and risk factors for older people. We will explore countertransference and how to work through it and review best practices for assessing and treating suicidality in older adults.
