Summary - Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk (AMSR) for Substance Use Disorder Treatment Professionals

The AMSR-SUD Training workshop prepares health and behavioral healthcare providers working in substance use disorder treatment settings to provide confident and empathetic treatment to patients at risk of suicide.

AMSR Training workshops provide a full day of training. During the full-day session, there are 6.5 hours of content, including discussion, role-playing, and video segments.

AMSR Training is designed to enhance your skills in recognizing, assessing, and managing suicide risk. You'll learn about the delivery of effective suicide-specific interventions and how to develop collaborative treatment and safety plans with those at risk for suicide. You can ask questions, practice using the risk formulation, and receive feedback to improve your skills. You'll engage with the AMSR trainer as well as other participants for practice and skill development. We'll provide you with an AMSR manual so you can take the information, background, and tips covered in the session.

AMSR-trained professionals report increased willingness, confidence, and clarity in working with clients and patients at risk of suicide.
