Full Description: Mental health emergencies can happen at any time. At some point, most clinicians will be faced with suicidal, homicidal, psychotic or withdrawing clients while on call. Participants in this unique webinar will learn to triage such emergencies by telephone, and in so doing will be able to provide powerful interventions and follow up. Mr. Webb draws on his vast experience providing on-call and mobile crisis services to teach participants the skills necessary to work with clients telephonically. He offers proven techniques for overcoming the unique challenges presented by the lack of face-to-face contact and the intrusion into “personal time”.
