Suicide in Therapy Masterclass
Build your confidence and clinical competence in 2 hours only!
Whether you like it or not, at some point in your career as a therapist you will handle a suicidal client.
Actually, your friends and colleagues might call you in the middle of the night to tell you that their child is suicidal.
Why? Because they know you are a therapist and they expect you to know what to do in these situations.
If you want to save lives, handle suicidal clients with expertise, and feel like a master clinician, then this masterclass is for you.
The questions answered in this masterclass are:
- Why do people become suicidal, and how do you conceptualize suicidality in a therapy setting, so that you can do effective treatment planning?
- How do you work with suicidal clients?
What do you do or not do when your client tells you 'I am going to kill myself today'?
What do you say or not say when the client says they are suicidal? - How do you take care of yourself if your client dies by suicide?
Are you curious? Want the answers to these and more questions? Dive in!

"The key takeaway for me from this workshop was that at times our efforts to ensure our clients get wellness do not bring about the desired outcome but this shouldn't take us down as therapists. When you handle a suicidal client who goes ahead to die by suicide, there is always a way to address the distress you are undergoing."
