Category: Virtual Continuing Education Event
Thursday, June 18th, 2026 from 10:00AM - 5:00PM (Eastern) on Zoom
Presented by Tyson Bailey, PsyD, ABPP
The intent of this workshop is to increase mental health professionals’ understanding of how trauma, particularly events repeatedly experienced in childhood, can impact the assessment and treatment of persistent suicidal ideation and behaviors. The workshop will provide participants with an understanding of how a history of trauma can create more difficulties within the assessment and management of suicidal behaviors. The focus will be on the importance of the working alliance and how to utilize this relationship as part of the process of suicide assessment. This presentation will apply to psychologists working with adults and some special populations (e.g. Veterans, complex trauma). Issues related to the impact of diversity on forming the relationship and suicide assessment will be addressed as well. Skill level: Intermediate
This workshop fulfills the KRS 210.366 requirement for suicide prevention training.
