This post includes the powerpoint slides from my presentation on Teaching the Mental Status Examination and Suicide Assessment at the Western Association of Counselor Educators and Supervisors. It was a very nice conference organized and attended by some awesome Counselor Educators. WACES MSE

I am in Cincinnati and wanted to tell you I really enjoyed both of your presentations that I attended and appreciate that I can find the presentations online. As a student, the types of presentations I am looking for are ways to improve and build upon the skills that I am learning as I go through my program and into my internship and really thought the information you presented to be able to do this. Thank you so much!!
Hi Donna.
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the presentations in Cincinnati. I agree that it’s important for students (and all of us) to gain practical knowledge and skills we can apply in our work. Where do you go to school? Wherever it is, I hope your travels home went smoothly and that the rest of your conference was great.
All best,
John SF
