Why we offer this workshop:
Suicidology researchers study the unique needs of persons at risk for suicide and the kinds of responses that are most helpful to them. Vancouver Island Crisis provides their latest research and give helpful tools in this three-hour workshop for avoiding what researchers call The 10 Most Common Errors of Suicide Interventionists.
