Suicide Prevention Trainings—Register Now ($50 for students)

For the fourth year in a row, Forefront is partnering with the School of Social Work to provide an Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR) suicide prevention training to UW graduate students and 2nd year BASW Students.

This year’s training will also be open to UW graduate students from all schools. The training meets certification requirements for health and mental health care professionals as mandated under HB 2315, HB 2366, and HB 1336. For occupation-specific information, contact the Department of Health.

Please provide us with the following information required for registration and pick your training date. The spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Spots are expected to fill up quickly so please register today!

What: Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR) Suicide Prevention Training

Benefits to completing the training during Spring Quarter are:

• Fulfill a legal requirement for your professional licensing conveniently offered while in school.
• Trainings are offered at a subsidized cost, a fraction of what they will cost post-graduation.
• Training hours count towards overall practicum hours. Field instructors will be asked to provide relief time during practicum hours to complete the training.
• Most social workers assess and treat clients with suicidal behaviors on a regular basis. Experiencing the suicide of a client during your career is a major occupational hazard.
• Recent legislation has expanded the range of professions requiring suicide prevention training for licensure.

Who can register: Any UW MSW Social Work student, 2nd Year BASW students, and all other UW graduate students can register. Spots are limited, so priority will be given to students closest to graduation. * Graduating students registering before March 7th, 2017 will be accommodated on a first-come first-serve basis. After that date, other students will be accommodated as space is available.

Training Topics: Understanding suicidal behavior, eliciting suicide ideation and plans, formulation of risk, treatment planning, care management, documentation and legal issues.

Completion of this training, including proof demonstrated by the certificate of completion, fulfills this new licensure requirement. Please be advised that training in suicide assessment, treatment and management must be repeated at regular intervals. The timetable for this requirement varies by profession.
