Harm OCD, Suicidal Ideation, or Both?

Harm OCD and suicidal ideation may look similar, but there are key differences that are important to understand for effective treatment planning.  Clients with OCD have an increased risk of suicide, and therefore learning to differentiate between harm OCD and SI can improve therapeutic outcomes while helping mental health professionals to limit professional liability.  This training will teach you to identify harm OCD, differentiate it from suicidal ideation, and treatment plan accordingly, even when there is a presence of both harm OCD & SI.
