The Call of Darkness: Managing Suicidality in Clinical Practice workshop, Wellington
This workshop is open to all health professionals
Last year there were 668 deaths to suicide in our country, and statistics show this number is increasing. Our current government has made it a priority to address this issue.
In this seminar Dr Hedges will draw on empirical research and outline promising treatment approaches informed by a range of significant theorists including Freud, Jung, Linehan, Kernberg, and Joiner, along with attachment theorists. He will present a Relational Listening approach for treating and managing suicidality.
