Postgraduate certificate Intervention in Suicidal Behavior in Crises and Emergencies

The management of patients with suicidal ideation in crisis requires a multidimensional approach combining pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions. In this regard, recent studies have shown that the use of drugs such as atypical antipsychotics and mood stabilizers can significantly reduce the immediate risk of suicide in patients with Psychiatric Disorders. In addition, motivational interviewing and de-escalation techniques have shown efficacy in reducing distress and isolation. Faced with this, clinicians need specific training in the application of psychotherapeutic strategies adapted to complex situations. In response to this, TECH launches an exclusive online university program focused on Suicidal Behavior Intervention in Crisis and Emergencies.
