Moving from ALERT to Acceptance: Helping Clinicians Heal from Client Suicide covers suicide assessment and safety planning in measurable and empowering ways that takes away some of the fear of asking about suicide when working with clients of diverse backgrounds. Experience a modern, compassionate take on suicide assessment in this book through client stories, and explore how you can adopt the ALERT suicide assessment framework into your own client work. With a predicted quarter of mental health professionals, clinical supervisors, and therapists losing a client to suicide sometime in their career, this book also serves to explore this life-altering event, including an in-depth look at the personal and professional impact on clinicians through therapist stories, the mental health leadership and support needed to heal, and tools that encourage a purposeful transition from crippling anxiety and grief towards post-traumatic growth and meaning.
