Self-Harm, Suicide and Depression in Schools: An Identification,
Prevention & Postvention Guide for Educators and All School Based
Professionals is organized by PESI HealthCare and will be held on Mar
19, 2020 at Red Lion Hotel & Conference Center Seattle Renton, Renton,
Washington, United States of America. This CME Conference has been
approved for a maximum of 6.3 contact hours / 6.25 hours of continuing
education credit. Course Description: The school years are fraught
with turmoil and strife for kids. In addition to the usual unrest,
many of your students will be affected by emotional and/or mental
health issues. They may present with dropping grades, decreased class
participation and negative acting-out behavior. For some students,
these issues escalate into more severe and complex behaviors that
cause harm to both themselves and others. These students often become
emotionally withdrawn, exhibit extreme mood swings, become severely
depressed and may even resort to self-harm and/or suicide. These
issues pose a serious challenge to you and your school. As an
educator, you are in the unique position to identify, help and support
these struggling students. This seminar will examine the best
strategies for identification, prevention and postvention among
students with depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation. Emphasis
will be placed on understanding how to detect and respond to at-risk
students at the individual level, classroom level and school-wide
level. You will learn strategies, techniques and interventions to
provide the appropriate support and effectively help students cope.
Whether you are a classroom teacher, school
counselor/psychologist/social workers, administrator or support staff,
you will leave this seminar armed with tools you need to connect with
and help students who most need your help.
