This excellent and important resource was created by Dr Michael Sweeney at Metropolitan Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy in New York City. It's free to everyone thanks to our patron, sponsors, supporters and fundraising riders!
🔸Assessing and identifying suicidality in young people.
In this important Cycle Against Su***de resource, Dr Michael Sweeney explores how to engage with a young person and sensitively assess for su***de risk.
Dr Sweeney and his team outline key facts about su***de and explain the four important functional domains in a young person’s life: Home, School, Social and Interpersonal, and the risk factors that may arise within each.
The resource also provides practical guidance on how to approach a conversation and assessment with a young person, helping those supporting them to recognise potential concerns and respond appropriately.
This is an important and practical resource for anyone working with or supporting young people, providing valuable insight into understanding su***de risk and having these conversations in a safe, structured and compassionate way.
