Description of the CASE Approach: The CASE Approach is an evidence-based, easily learned interviewing strategy for uncovering suicidal ideation, planning, and intent. Innovative techniques from the field of clinical interviewing known as Validity Techniques are flexibly interwoven to increase validity, decrease errors of omission, and increase the client’s sense of safety when sharing suicidal thought. These attributes allow the social worker to flexibly adapt their interviewing style to meet the unique needs of each client while sensitively uncovering a client’s potentially hidden method of choice for suicide (MOC), extent of actions taken using their MOC, and immediate intentions to use the MOC to proceed with suicide in clients at immediate risk (next 24 hours) or imminent risk (next seven days). Unlike semi-structured formats, clinicians never use cue sheets - nor record information - while asking the questions used in the CASE Approach allowing the social worker to provide 100% of their attention to engaging the client and looking for nonverbal indicators of withheld secrets - secrets that can sometimes prove to be of life-saving importance. Description of the Course: This Advanced Core-skills package includes the entire Basic Core-skills Course and adds an extensive Bonus Module focusing upon the use of the CASE Approach with clients at particularly high risk. Over the course of ten teaching modules, Dr. Shea - who is the creator of the CASE Approach - intermixes his trade-mark dynamic writing to initially introduce the techniques and strategies of the CASE Approach with video didactics that allow him to highlight nuances of client presentation and interviewer technique. He then proceeds to demonstrate the techniques and strategies of the CASE Approach with compelling unscripted interview video demonstrations of the CASE Approach. To enhance consolidation of the interviewing skills, each module ends with thought-provoking questions that push the participant to better understand the nuanced application of the CASE Approach, and, subsequently, gain insights from Dr. Shea’s own answers to the questions.
