SUMMARY:Crisis Support for Autistic People (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Suicide is a leading cause of premature death for autistic people. Yet\, many professionals lack autism-specific knowledge and experience\, potentially leading to miscommunications and misunderstandings with autistic individuals. Additionally\, the suicide prevention resources and supports designed for the general public can unintentionally harm autistic people because autistic people think\, communicate\, and experience the world differently than non-autistic people. \n\n\n\nPresenters: Rae Hartman Haight\, Autism Studies Researcher; Brenna Maddox\, PhD / Psychologist; Lisa Morgan\, LSCW-cc / M.Ed. / Consultant \nThis strengths-based training aims to close that gap and improve crisis supports for autistic people. Training attendees will learn how to effectively communicate with and support an autistic person in crisis. The training will highlight recent research findings\, powerful stories of lived experience\, case scenarios\, and autism-specific resources developed in collaboration with autistic adults. \nHosted by CHL\nFunder Info: This training is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Vermont Department of Health.
