Suicide Risk Management and The Minimum Standard of Care

Title:
Suicide Risk Management and The Minimum Standard of Care
Presenter:
Gregg Elliott, PhD, LPC, LMHC, ACS
Description:
Working with suicidal clients remains one of the clinical areas where many clinicians express a lack of self-efficacy. Simultaneously, major counseling insurance carriers like HPSO have reported an increase in claims against counselors for suicide malpractice, citing a failure by counselors to meet the minimum standard of care (Flynn et al., 2024). And CACREP has once again taken a minimalist approach to suicide in the 2024 standards, leaving the potential for students to graduate from programs with substantial gaps in their training in treating suicidal clients. In this presentation, we will utilize several clinical practice guidelines to establish some of the critical competencies which counselors must possess to be able to meet the minimum standard of care with a suicidal client. Participants will be provided with resources for continued professional development and study and participants will outline a personal development plan for increasing competence in this critical clinical area.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learners will be able to understand what the minimum standard of care is, and how it is typically legally defined.
  • Learners will be able to identify three different clinical practice guidelines relevant to the counseling profession and how they guide clinical practice in working with suicidal clients.
  • Learners will create a personal development plan for increasing their own competence in working with suicidal clients and in meeting the minimum standard of care with clients.
