Developing Effective Safety and Lethal Means Plans for Suicidal Patients

Led By Sam Knapp, Ed.D. ABPP

Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States and perhaps the most frequent crisis encountered by psychologists. One of the first goals when treating suicidal patients is to reduce the likelihood that they will attempt suicide. Fortunately, researchers and clinicians have developed safety-plan-type interventions, including lethal means counseling which can substantially reduce the likelihood of a suicide attempt. This workshop will describe the steps in safety plans and how psychologists can present those plans in a manner likely presented to increase their success.
