Drs. Carol Coohey and Miriam Landsman of the National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice  have published an article "Evaluation of a Suicide Counseling Skills Course for Social Work Students" in the Journal of Social Work Education. Social work students often lack adequate training to effectively intervene with clients considering suicide. Coohey and Landsman describe integrating suicide counseling skills development into a course and evaluate whether it improves students’ skills and confidence.
