Training Date: Wednesday, May 14, 2025 from 9AM-3PM

The Stanley-Brown Safety Planning Intervention (SPI) is an evidence-based, brief, and collaborative clinical intervention designed for individuals who have experienced an acute suicidal crisis. The clinician and patient work together to develop a specific plan to help the patient manage future suicidal crises and prevent suicidal behavior.

In this virtual workshop, participants will learn the steps to collaboratively create a Safety Plan. The goal of safety planning is for people to become more aware of their personal warning signs that a suicidal crisis is beginning or escalating so that they can take action before they are in danger of acting on their suicidal feelings.

In order to participate in this training, you must be a certified licensed community behavioral health clinician, school-based behavioral health provider, and/or provide direct clinical services & interventions as a mental health professional.

Part 1: 9AM - 2PM
The first part of this workshop will provide an overview of the Stanley-Brown SPI, including who is appropriate to receive the SPI, data on SPI effectiveness, and comprehensive instruction and roleplay demonstration of how to deliver the SPI to suicidal adults.

Part 2: 2PM - 3PM
The last hour of this workshop will describe necessary adaptations for delivering the SPI specifically to suicidal adolescents and will include a roleplay demonstration of how to involve caregivers in the intervention.
