I love the ease and structure of the Therapist Development Center courses and this was no exception! I feel more inspired to work with clients experiencing suicidal ideation now.

Great review. It is important that we are properly trained on how to handle SI in order to best support the healing of our clients.

I enjoyed the training

Excellent presentation!

Really appreciated Amandas openness and vulnerability. I have been feeling this way myself as I've felt so worn down by the journey to licensure, and her talking about her experience with being suicidal helped me a lot as I was learning as well.

Excellent course! Thank you!

I have instantly incorporated this into my practice. Fantastic course.

Thank you for creating and sharing the On The Edge of Life Model. I have done several trainings on suicide. This one was the best. I feel confidant that I will respond with less panic and fear when a client has the courage to share the level of despair they are in. The description of sitting in a sacred space with a person who is willing to share their pain and suffering has forever changed how I will respond to clients. I have recommended this training to several co-workers. This training is a gift. I wish it it could be mandatory for all helping and medical professionals. The Edge of Life Model has the potential to do great things in how suicide is assessed and managed. Mary Ann Kalm, LCSW

This introduction to treating suicidality course was more in-depth than most courses about suicide. It is to the point but also gives tangible and useful skills for managing suicide risk. It normalizes the occurrence of suicidality and also prepares therapists to treat it in the best, most competent, way.

Excellent course. Appreciated the experiential reflection at the start. Very humbling, yet validating, to be able to acknowledge our own fears and the helplessness that we sometimes experience as clinicians, no matter how much we have trained and prepared. Thank you for continuing to expand our understanding of how "to sit on the edge" together with our clients and move past our own discomfort to better join with our clients in their time of deepest suffering.
