As therapists, we’re trained to respond to suicidality with carceral approaches that further harm marginalized clients and may inadvertently perpetuate state-based trauma and violence (Drustrup, Kivlighan, 2022). Recent shifts towards abolition seek to replace oppressive systems such as prisons and police with life-affirming institutions such as accessible housing and healthcare (Kaba, 2021). This training will support clinicians in developing an anti-carceral approach to supporting clients experiencing suicidality. Together we’ll explore case studies to enhance practical tools in supporting clients experiencing suicidal thoughts. Participants will gain proactive and active tools to further support the well-being and safety of their clients.
Learning Objectives
Deepen the understanding and implementation of anti-oppressive psychotherapy and clinical supervision.
Develop proactive tools to collaborate with clients in establishing a support team.
Develop additional anti-carceral tools to support clients experiencing suicidality.
