Please support the Association for Humanistic Counseling (AHC) by attending our webinar entitled Suicide Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Strengths-Based Approach led by Dr. John Sommers-Flanagan on Friday, September 24, 2021, from 10am to 5:30 pm (EST). More information including the registration link can be found below. CE's will be provided.

Title: Suicide Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Strengths-Based Approach 

Program Description: Suicide assessment and treatment planning is extremely stressful. When working with clients or students who are suicidal, counselors sometimes can over-focus on psychopathology and experience their own feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Join John Sommers-Flanagan for a full-day strengths-focused workshop that addresses the challenges of working with suicidality in a way that’s distinctly humanistic. John will describe fundamental strengths-based principles and provide tips on how to use a seven-dimension model to provide holistic suicide assessment and treatment, introduce evidence-based “happiness” interventions, while simultaneously addressing traditional competencies for working with suicidality in counseling or psychotherapy. 

Bio: John Sommers-Flanagan is a professor of counseling at the University of Montana, a clinical psychologist, and author or coauthor of over 100 publications, including nine books and many professional training videos. His books, co-written with his wife Rita, include Tough Kids, Cool Counseling, How to Listen so Parents will Talk and Talk so Parents will Listen, Clinical Interviewing, and Suicide Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Strengths-Based Approach.
