Crisis Intervention & Suicide

Course description

People with mental health/addiction issues often present at healthcare settings in times of crisis when the acute aspects of their problems become harder to manage. Fortunately, there is growing evidence-based and values-informed practice wisdom to guide clinical practice for healthcare and other service providers. In this course, students develop the clinical competencies required to intervene, stabilize and de-escalate crises. They also learn how to assess their clients’ risk to self-harm and support them with appropriate interventions.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
