[Anastasi, Jeffery]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to let you know that Dr. Cramer is planning on offering a course next fall (Fall 2014) on suicide that some of you might be interested in. I simply wanted to let you know that this was in the planning stages and it appears that it will be offered. See the description below.

Subject: PSYC5035 Fall 2014: Suicide Prevention, Assessment, and Risk Management



The course will be a skills based course, focused on applied, hands-on practice of skills necessary for suicide prevention, assessment and risk management.  As such, it will be open to school, clinical and counselor education, as I am aiming to train mental health professionals on from the standpoint of existing competencies in this area.  We will review topics including, but not limited to, leading theories of suicide, contemporary ethical issues, standards of practice for assessment and documentation, and empirically-supported approaches to assessment and risk management.  Moreover, the course will not contain written exams in the traditional sense.  The students will be required to conduct two assignments: a) develop a presentation/paper topic of their choice over the course of the semester, and b) conduct a mock risk assessment and documentation toward the end of the semester.  Weekly reading and seminar participation will also be expected.
