Radical Suicidal Care 6/24/25
This presentation focuses on trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and anti-incarceral approaches to working with suicidal clients and providing suicidal care as a mental health professional. The presentation will focus on learning the impact of suicidal care such as involuntary hospitalizations, inpatient and outpatient treatment centers and programs, safety plans and crisis response efforts on client’s overall well being. It will provide new tools, resources and guides on how to navigate suicidal care to ensure the safest outcome for clients, especially those who are oppressed by larger systems and structures within our healthcare system. In tandem with that, participants will also engage in exercises, tools and resources on how to de-center their discomfort around suicide to make sure that their decisions in their own distress (fear of liability, our own wounds, etc.) don’t negatively impact or harm their suicidal clients.
