DESCRIPTION:This training is offered by the Westerly Education Center in multiple four hour sessions starting 10/31/19.

SUMMARY:Suicide: Screening\, Prevention & Response Training
DESCRIPTION:DECEMBER 2\nSuicide: Screening\, Prevention & Response\nTraining offered by the Bradley Learning Exchange\n \nThe first step in effective suicide prevention is to identify someone in need of help. Asking three to six simple questions can help determine whether someone needs help and if immediate action is needed. \nIn this training\, participants learn to administer the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale-Screen Version (C-SSRS Screener)\, an evidence-based tool used by those without specialized training in suicide assessment. Participants also review current national and Rhode Island statistics on suicide; learn risk factors\, warning signs\, myths and facts and local Rhode Island resources. Participants have the opportunity to practice using the C-SSRS Screener in a safe supportive environment through the use of video demonstrations\, case studies and role plays. \nDecember 2\, 2019\n8-11 am\nBradley Learning Exchange\n1 Catamore Blvd\nEast Providence\, RI  02914\n401-432-1106 \nRegister Here
