Course Description
Suicide is a leading cause of death globally; understandably, vulnerable and disadvantaged groups are over-represented in the statistics. Refugees, asylum seekers and holders of temporary visas such as SHEVs and TPVs, are at particular risk. Suicidal ideation and behaviour are a complex combination of personal, social, and health factors, and hence suicide prevention requires a systems approach. The increased utilisation of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic has created new opportunities and challenges in suicide prevention and self-harm behaviour. In this Clinical Master Class, held on 26 May 2021, Maxine Rosenfield, the author of the well-known book ‘Telephone Counselling – A Handbook for Practitioners’, shared her expertise in using remote technology with a particular focus on suicide prevention and self-harm behaviour. Katherine Theodor, an experienced STARTTS psychologist, shared a case study of her ongoing counselling, support and containment via telehealth, of an asylum seeker on a double-negative pathway, who was experiencing auditory hallucinations and chronic suicidality.
