- Transformative Suicide InterventionTransformative Suicide InterventionTime: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
While our trauma is neither our identity nor our destiny, we often become imprisoned in the past and immobilized in our present when our experience of pain overwhelms our ability to overcome, inevitably inhibiting our hope and the possibility of future opportunity. This 2-hour training focuses on the tools, skills, and best practices that are instrumental to intervening amid another’s crisis experience. We learn how to divert others away from distressed thinking, and redirect them into a space of acceptance, awareness, and reflection that ignites hope, motivates self-empowerment, and inspires self-directed healing.
