1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Today’s episode is from the archives that are available at&amp;nbsp;www.BearClanllc.com.&amp;nbsp; It’s a re-cast of Episode 18, addressing how counselors can stabilize kids after an incident involving suicidal ideation or gestures. The role of a counselor is fundamentally different than the role of a therapist in these situations.&amp;nbsp; The counselor’s focus is on helping the client see the suicidal ideation or gesture as a symptom and then helping the client cope with that symptom.&amp;nbsp; It’s not about understanding where the symptom comes from – leave that for the individual sessions with a therapist.&amp;nbsp; Next episode I’ll be back with the beginning of a new episode arc in the group-level interventions learning pathway.&amp;nbsp; The focus will be on how to incorporate treatment interventions into every part of the residential shift.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the meantime, I hope this episode helps you, and your program, to effectively intervene and support your most overwhelmed clients when they are in crisis.&amp;nbsp; Becoming Centered http://sites.libsyn.com/479778/site <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41125850/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/41125850
