SUICIDE: PREVENTION, INTERVENTION & POSTVENTION

SUICIDE: PREVENTION,
INTERVENTION & POSTVENTION
A PRACTICAL SEMINAR FOR
CHAPLAINS, CLERGY, AND
POLICE, FIRE & EMS PERSONNEL
MAY 21-22, 2012 IN HERMITAGE, PA

Sponsored by the Hermitage Fire Department, Hermitage Police Department,
and St. Paul’s United Church of Christ
This course will provide participants with basic information about suicide, as well as help participants develop practical skills for prevention, intervention and postvention, including:

● Common myths about suicide ● Risk factors for suicidal behavior
● Frequent motivations for suicide ● Problem solving methods
● Effective intervention strategies ● Elements of effective postvention
● Elements of survivor grief ● Community referral sources
● Feelings and reactions of suicide survivors ● A “mini-lecture” on suicide

Small group role plays will allow participants to apply the suggested techniques as they are learned. The class consists of two days of instruction, Monday and Tuesday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Completion of “Suicide Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention” and receipt of a certificate indicating full attendance (14 Contact Hours) qualifies as a class in the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation’s Certificate of Specialized Training Program. It can be applied towards the International Conference of Police Chaplains’ senior and master chaplain certifications and the Federation of Fire Chaplains master chaplain certification. It is not a substitute for Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) training.

COST
The Suicide: Prevention, Intervention, and Postvention Class costs $150. This includes two days of instruction and discussion, workbook, a certificate of completion from the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, and donuts & coffee plus lunch and snacks on both days. If your registration form and check is postmarked by March 31, the cost is $125.

LOCATION
Classes will be held on the upper floor of Hermitage Fire Department’s station 3 on the corner of Mercer Avenue and Maple Drive in Hermitage (just a few miles north of Interstate 80 exit 4B). Parking is in the lot to the right of the station, located at 541 Mercer Avenue.
Classes are 8:30 am to 5:00 pm both days. Registration is Monday at 8 am. Dress is casual. Because the weather (and air conditioning) can vary in May, we encourage you to bring a sweatshirt.
