Event Description:

Suicidal ideation is one of the most urgent β€” and most often mismanaged β€” crises in behavioral health, with many individuals facing waitlists of three to six months for outpatient care. For practice owners and clinicians, understanding what an effective, rapid-response treatment model actually looks like can change outcomes for the people who need help most.

In this practical, experience-driven training, Derek Lee, Ph.D., CRC, LPCC-S, Founder and CEO of The Hope Institute, shares the treatment model he built to close this exact gap. Drawing from over 16 years of clinical experience and thousands of client cases, Derek will unpack how The Hope Institute's short-term outpatient approach β€” grounded in the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) β€” has helped reduce suicidal ideation in as little as six weeks.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

  • Why traditional care models often fall short for individuals in suicidal crisis
  • The fundamentals of the CAMS and DBT frameworks used at The Hope Institute
  • How a short-term, high-contact outpatient model can stabilize clients faster
  • Real-world outcomes and lessons from building and scaling this treatment model
  • How practice owners can evaluate whether a similar model fits their organization

Whether you're a practice owner looking to strengthen your crisis-care offerings or a clinician wanting a deeper understanding of evidence-based suicide-prevention treatment, this webinar will provide practical insights to help you better serve the clients who need it most.

The recording will be emailed out to all who register, whether or not you can make it live
