SUMMARY:Helping Save Lives Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scales
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Protocol\, also known as the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)\, supports suicide risk assessment through a series of simple\, plain-language questions that anyone can ask. The answers help users identify whether someone is at risk for suicide\, assess the severity and immediacy of that risk\, and gauge the level of support that the person needs. Users of the tool ask people: \n• Whether and when they have thought about suicide (ideation) \n• What actions they have taken — and when — to prepare for suicide \n• Whether and when they attempted suicide or began a suicide attempt that was either interrupted by another person or stopped of their own volition \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to the CSSRS as a screening tool for suicide prevention.

SUMMARY:Mental Health First Aid for (those supporting) Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:United Way of Northwest Vermont is presenting a series of Mental Health First Aid for Older Adults Certification trainings sponsored by MVP Health Care. \nMental Health First Aid for Older Adults is an 8-hour public education program which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adults over the age of 65\, builds understanding of the importance of early intervention\, and teaches individuals how to help an older adult in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. \nThrough role-playing and simulations\, you will learn how to assess the signs and symptoms of a mental health challenge; select interventions; provide initial help; and connect people to professional\, peer and social supports as well as self-help resources. \nOlder adults have high rates of late-onset mental health challenges\, like anxiety and depression\, and low rates of identification and treatment. Whether you need to assist today or years from now\, this certification gives you the confidence you need to have the conversations that will allow older adults to live as comfortably as possible. \nUnited Way is able to offer these trainings free of charge thanks to MVP Health Care’s generous sponsorship. Space is limited and registration is required.
