Description
This interactive training equips clinicians with a practical, evidence-informed framework for understanding and responding to self-harming behaviors and related ideations. Drawing from theories of innate stress responses, survival mechanisms, and emotional regulation, participants will gain strategies to identify underlying drivers of self-harm, strengthen clinical assessment skills, and implement effective first-line psychological interventions.
Designed for clinicians at all career stages, this conversational training emphasizes psychological first aid, providing clear, actionable guidance for responding effectively and compassionately in the moment while supporting client safety and stabilization.
Learning Objectives
1. Differentiate at least three underlying factors that contribute to self-harming behaviors during clinical assessment and explain how these inform treatment planning
2. Apply principles from stress and survival response theories to conceptualize three forms of client presentations involving self-harm and associated ideation
3. Develop and implement at least three first-line psychological interventions tailored to client needs based on assessment findings and safety considerations
Live/Virtual Training Information
• If you register for the Virtual Classroom training, make sure you have a good WIFI connection.
• Your computer will need a camera for you to be visible throughout the entire training to receive the certificate.
• We will be using Zoom for the training; therefore, you will need to download the Zoom program to be able to use the link.
• You will receive three emails from us before the training. The first email will be sent out the week before the training and will include the zoom link, time of the training, details regarding your lunch order, and our address. The second email will be sent the beginning of the week in which the training is being held and will include all the information included in the first email plus the materials for the course. The third email will be sent the morning of the training and will include the Zoom link, the posttest (if needed) and the evaluation for the course.

• Your certificate will be emailed after the training, within 5-7 business days upon receiving your evaluation and posttest (if needed).
• While it is rare, there are occasions when we must cancel a training due to low registration. If this occurs, we will notify registered participants by Tuesday evening of the week of the scheduled training. We appreciate your understanding and will provide alternative options at that time.
• Our Live/Virtual trainings are offered in a hybrid format—held live at a physical location and streamed via Zoom at the same time. In-person attendees join the presenter on-site, while virtual participants watch the live training in real time and can fully participate through Zoom.
