Suicide-Focused Assessment and Treatment: An Update for Professionals

The suicide rate has increased significantly over the past two decades, with nearly 50,000 people currently dying from suicide in America each year.

• Utilize current methods of assessment, such as classifying suicide risk and formulating approaches to crisis care
• Apply newer approaches to suicide assessment
• Evaluate the newer treatments—such as ketamine, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and cognitive therapy—and their impact on improving outcomes
