Children are not small adults. So why use approaches designed for adults to help a child? The ASK Workshop is the only suicide prevention workshop that specifically addresses suicide risk in children. It gives participants developmentally appropriate strategies and tools to identify young children at risk of suicide, and informs how to gather and organize key details needed to assess risk and support safety planning.
