S2H (suicide to Hope) LivingWorks
- The 7-hour workshop is for clinicians and other professional helpers who are, or would like to be, involved in ongoing suicide care for people, once they are safe. It assumes that participants are familiar with suicide intervention and can provide suicide first aid. While LivingWorks’ ASIST is not a prerequisite, it is recommended as one way to learn suicide first aid and provides background for suicide to Hope’s learning processes and tools.
- Through interactive learning and practice, participants will learn to: Reflect on their qualities as helpers—the beliefs, values and attitudes they bring to the helping relationship—and how these impact on the effectiveness of their work; Describe key features of a hope-oriented, recovery and growth approach to suicide; Understand a framework for finding and exploring recovery and growth opportunities in suicide experiences; and Apply a Pathway to Hope (PaTH) model for setting and working toward recovery and growth goals.
