Membership Meeting - In Person
Amanda Rowan, LMFT
"Managing Suicide from a Humanistic and Phenomenological Perspective:
Intro to ELM (Edge of Life Model)"
Note: In-Person
This workshop, is the culmination of more than a decade of research, exploration, and personal experiences as both a clinician and a client impacted by suicide. Reviewing and incorporating the best practices from current models of suicide prevention, ELM (Edge of Life Model) expands those to add the critical discussion and support for the intense experience of the therapist holding the space of pain that a client who is considering ending their life is feeling. Unlike other procedural-based approaches, ELM is a framework that allows the therapist to address all the essential components of the standard of care while also allowing the therapist to integrate their own clinical orientation in a pragmatic way that addresses the unique needs of each client.
This course lays the foundation to improve a clinician’s ability to build genuine connections with their clients, gain a better understanding of their clients’ suffering, and expand their own capacity to attend to clients who are on the edge of life.
