Coming this Friday: Online Workshop — “Strategies for Integrating Traditional and Strengths-Based Approaches to Suicide”

Happy Sunday Evening,

Last week I shared my 2025 predictions with you. This week, I’ve got another prediction . On Friday, January 10, I’ll be doing an online, two-hour workshop (title listed above) for the Cognitive Behavior Institute. I predict that if you sign up, you’ll be happy you did.

The other good news about this workshop is that it’s ALMOST FREE. Only $25. Here’s the link to register:

I hope to see you there!

If you’re interested in this topic and can’t make it (or even if you can make it), here’s a pdf of an article I wrote about suicide assessment for a Psych journal in 2018:

Workshop Alert: Integrating Strengths-Based and Traditional (Medical Model) Approaches to Suicide Assessment

Tomorrow, December 4, I’m doing a quick one-hour version of my “Integration” workshop. Obviously, my leaning is toward the strengths-based, constructive approach to suicide assessment and treatment, but sometimes we need to integrate strengths-based approaches with the traditional medical model. That’s what this workshop is all about.

The workshop is presented on behalf of the Professional Counseling Association of Montana — the brainchild of Cynthia Boyle, a Ph.D. student in the University of Montana’s counseling and supervision program. Here’s a link to their website: https://pcamontana.org/
