5% discount for group bookings
This module comprehensively explores Indigenous suicide prevention and intervention based upon the substantial, evidence-based research of Dr Tracy Westerman (2003; 2010; 2019; 2019; 2020; 2020) as well as current national and international literature. From understanding the facts of Indigenous suicide and separating these from the myths; through to understanding the different nature to Aboriginal suicide; to understanding how best to engage with the at risk individual and run whole of community suicide intervention and prevention programs, these modules provide the participants with a comprehensive approach to arguably the most complex and urgent issue facing our high risk communities.
This Session:
- from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm (with breaks)
- 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm The afternoon session (until 4:00 pm) is an open Q & A session on complex clients that participants are able to ask of Dr Westerman. This will be a moderated session with questions sent in prior to the workshop.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of this module, you should be able to:
- Indigenous Suicide facts, myths: Describe the available research into indigenous suicides in Aboriginal communities - the impacts and gaps in this research
- Describe the factors that contribute to the escalation in Indigenous suicides and where the focus needs to be regarding prevention
- Describe the ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ approach to Indigenous suicide that contributes to policy direction and funding
- Describe suicide prevention language and its impact
- Discuss the copycat phenomena in Indigenous suicides and how this impact on prevention
- Explain the role of culture as a moderator of suicide risk
- Describe the nature of Aboriginal suicide–is there a different set of risk factors? What are they and why are they important to understand?
- Understand protective factors as cultural resilience. What are the core components of cultural resilience and does it buffer suicide risk
- Explain how these differences are used to prevent suicides in Aboriginal communities – participants will be walked through an applied case example and framework effectively used at the (a) individual, and (b) community risk levels,
- Explain the important role that culture plays in suicide prevention – how this can moderate risk and be an important aspect of the design of treatment programs.
You can undertake these workshops as ‘stand alone workshops’
However: if you would like to be accredited in the Westerman Aboriginal Symptom Checklist – Youth and Adults which are about to be launched in digital form you will need to do all FIVE modules. This accreditation will also enable you to access the associated Cultural Treatment Plan program and Client Cultural Interview Process.
