All California psychologists will be required to complete six hours of training in suicide risk assessment and intervention effective January 2020. This online course meets all requirements.

 

Every therapist should have easy access to comprehensive, state-of-the-art training on suicide prevention.  We are excited to announce the launch of a brand new, one-of-a-kind online eCourse that provides this education and meets the new mandatory suicide prevention training requirement for psychologists effective January 2020!

 

Suicide is the most common psychological emergency that therapists will encounter, and it is on the rise. For mental health professionals with an active clinical practice, suicide is an occupational hazard that can be both emotionally and practically devastating. Recent research has identified suicide-specific therapies that are effective in treating both suicidal ideation and behavior. Most therapists are not aware of them nor have they been trained in them, so most suicidal clients do not receive these potentially lifesaving treatments.

This on-demand online course with leading suicidologist Dr. Lisa Firestone and the California Psychological Association will provide an invaluable opportunity for therapists to become familiar with risk assessment and effective crisis interventions, as well as empirically validated, evidence-based treatments for suicide that are fast becoming the standard of care.

6 CE Credits are available for this course.

Hi,
I am confused about 6 CEUs vs 6 Credit Hours. It seems that for the LEP license they want 6 credit hours which is equivalent to 90 CEUs? I just don’t want to find out I need way more CEUs because I read 1 credit hour = 15 ceu hours.
