Almost half of all patients in mental health care suffer from suicidal ideation in any given measure of severity. As such it is one of the most prevalent disorders to date. However, suicide prevention is not taught in undergraduate or postgraduate curricula, and therefore many clinicians start at an incompetent skills level. Quite a number of clinicians are traumatised after suicides among their clients. This course aims at augmenting clinician's skills levels to professional standards in suicide prevention / psychotherapy of suicidal patients.
