Caring for the Caregiver:
A Framework for Supporting Families Affected
by Suicidal ThoughtsWe’re excited to invite you to our upcoming CEU course, Caring for the Caregiver: A Framework for Supporting Families Affected by Suicidal Thoughts. The session will be led by Johanna Louie, LCSW a Care Solace Verified Provider known for their commitment to delivering high-quality mental health care.
📅 Join us on September 23 from 10:00-11:15am (PT) | 1:00-2:15 PM (ET) for this session, worth 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
Supporting a loved one experiencing suicidal thoughts comes with unique challenges. Family members often feel isolated and unsure of how to help. This workshop offers clinical providers and school-based staff a structured approach to better support suicide caregivers.
The Suicide Caregiver Support Model—a three-step framework consisting of reflection, psychoeducation, and self-care planning—provides practical and evidenced-informed strategies to support families through the challenges.
Participants will gain hands-on tools for implementing each step to empower caregivers in feeling more confident in their roles. We will also explore how to adapt and apply this model across community, school, and individual settings.
