COURSE OVERVIEW
LETS GET STARTED
This 2-hour virtual training fills an urgent gap in ethical education for clinicians supporting individuals affected by suicide—whether through loss, personal experience, or ongoing thoughts.
Participants will explore complex ethical topics including clinician grief, confidentiality, culturally relevant care, and scope of practice. The course also covers documentation, boundary setting, and ethical decision-making through the lens of trauma-informed, suicide-informed care.
Designed for mental health professionals, this micro-course offers continuing education (CE) options and provides tools to increase ethical clarity while reducing moral distress in practice.
