This full-day training, during National Suicide Prevention Week, will prepare counselors and mental health professionals to use crisis response planning for suicide prevention effectively in their practice. The Crisis Response Plan (CRP) is a brief, empirically supported procedure used to reduce an individual's risk for suicidal behavior and is created collaboratively between a suicidal individual and a trained individual and is typically handwritten on an index card for easy, convenient access during times of need. The CRP serves as a checklist to follow during periods of intense emotional distress. At its core, the CRP helps someone remember what to do when they feel emotionally overwhelmed. The CRP is comprised of five key sections:

• Personal warning signs: personal indicators of an emerging emotional crisis.
• Self-management strategies: simple strategies that can be used to help reduce stress or serve as a distraction.
• Reasons for living: things that provide a sense of purpose or meaning in life.
• Social support: people who provide support or elevate one's mood during tough times (e.g., friends, family members).
• Professional crisis support: contact information for health care providers, crisis hotlines, and emergency services.

The CRP usually takes less than 30 minutes to create. During this full-day training, participants will:

• reflect on personal experiences, knowledge, and attitudes around suicide and working with clients at risk of suicide crises.
• learn about conceptualizations around suicidal thoughts and behaviors through the functional model of suicide and the suicide mode to better serve clients with suicidal thoughts and behaviors and/or emotional distress.
• practice, through role-play, how to conduct the narrative assessment as a tool in introducing and using the crisis response plan.
