I know you care deeply..
Does this sound familiar?
You panic inside whenever suicide risk comes up in session?
You're not sure what "high risk" really means - or what to do next? Let alone how to manage referrals.
Your training skimmed suicide risk, or it has been a while you've reviewed this content, leaving you feeling exposed and worried.
You have concerns of missing something and fear the dreaded "did I do enough?" question after hours.
You refer clients with suicide risk away because you fear being burnt out by these presentations.
You fear losing a client - or your reputation - if something goes wrong.
i KNOW HOW HEAVY THIS CAN FEEL...
Just know you don’t have to carry it by yourself.
I’ve sat in sessions where suicide risk was real and urgent, and even with years of training, it left me wondering if I’d done enough. Those moments can stay with you, but your training can support everyone through it.
That’s why I built these courses. As a Clinical Psychologist and Doctor‑in‑Training, I’ve spent years on the front lines and in private practice learning what helps.
These courses are my brain and heart poured into practical, evidence‑based training—so you can feel confident, supported, and ready to help your clients through their toughest moments.
