A novel treatment approach for adolescents at risk of suicide
ELDOH Research Capacity Building Series
29 July, 12:30pm - 1:30pm
This webinar will provide an overview of a potential new ultra-brief treatment approach, Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescent Suicide Crise Intervention (IPT-A-SCI), that could be delivered in Child and Adolescent Mental Health crisis services. It will also present the evidence base underpinning brief treatment models for suicide prevention, why IPT-A-SCI has potential to be effective in supporting recovery outcomes, and what we know about it so far.
