Training Overview: 
During academic programs and practicum assignments there is talk about assessing for risks, but, the training received is usually agency specific and directs providers to a form consisting of a list of questions to ask.

Most students do not actually experience conducting a risk assessment until later in their career, at which point they realize (during the crisis) that they were only introduced to a form/format, but they did not actually learn how to conduct a risk assessment. Now you realize you don't know what to ask or why without a specific form. The training was insufficient. 

My goal is always to teach you how to conduct assessments (in any setting) and document (in any format) without depending on a specific set of questions. When you are trained correctly and adequately you will not be dependent on a form or a list. 

Assessing for risks is scary for most, but in this training I will introduce you to strategies that will help reduce your reluctance to respond to crisis situations.   

What's in it for you?

In under an hour, you'll gain a clear, practical understanding of the key components of effective risk assessment. We will cover identifying warning signs, asking the right questions, and formulating a clinical opinion.

Designed for social work students, recent graduates, and those new to providing clinical supervision, this session will equip you with the skills to navigate potentially high-risk situations ethically and effectively.

Don't let uncertainty hold you back—REGISTER TODAY to build your confidence, enhance your competence, and prepare to protect yourself and others.
