About
Legal Aid clients often face complex barriers to stability, including mental health challenges. In this training, we’ll review facts and myths about self-harming behaviors and suicidal ideation, and distinguish between the two. Next, participants will learn what to listen for when working with clients who are prone to mental health crisis. They will then learn a framework for assessing client needs and practice asking key questions that they can use to determine a course of action. Participants will review common scenarios and apply their assessment and intervention skills to real-life scenarios. Originally facilitated for Tacomaprobono staff on 9/9/25 and 9/11/25.
