Training Workshop Announcement: Training for Trainers -
Call
for Applicants
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC), in partnership with the American
Association of Suicidology (AAS), has developed a one-day training curriculum
for mental health professionals: Competencies for Assessing and Managing
Suicide Risk. Two adaptations of this training workshop have
also been developed, one for Employee Assistance Professionals, the other for
College and University Counselors. This Call for Applicants seeks
clinicians interested in being trained to deliver this training in a fee for
service model.
In March, 2006 AAS/SPRC will be training trainers for these curricula
in Washington D.C. over the course of two to three consecutive days. Approximately
12 individuals will be fully funded (tuition, materials, and travel related
expenses) for the training. Trainees will be drawn from among a pool
of professionals meeting the criteria below. Selections will be based
on experience, expertise, and capacity to disseminate the training to racially
and ethnically diverse populations across the fifty states and territories. Only
individuals who successfully complete this train-the-trainer course will be
qualified to conduct trainings using these unique curricula. CEUs will be awarded
to all trainees.
Interested individuals meeting the criteria below should submit applications
and related materials no later than 31 January 2006. Selections
will be announced at least 30 days prior to the initial training date. This
project is supported by the Department of Health and Human Services, Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Grant # 1 U79 SM57392-01.
