With a clear, research-supported approach, Khara guides participants through effective supervision strategies, trauma-informed leadership principles, and healing practices that empower clinicians to remain in the field while honoring their loss. **Topics covered include** the psychological impact of client suicide on clinicians, the PERMS (Physical, Emotional, Relational, Mental, Spiritual) framework, the LEAN model for personal healing, hurtful vs. helpful responses, the eight traits of impactful leadership, and tools for fostering meaning-making and clinician retention in the aftermath of loss. ### **Key Takeaways:** \- **Understand the true toll:** Gain insight into the profound emotional and psychological effects of client suicide on clinicians. \- **Promote clinician healing:** Learn practical strategies for supporting therapists through grief, trauma, and eventual post-traumatic growth. \- **Lead with impact:** Develop the leadership tools necessary to foster trust, resilience, and retention in your organization or supervision practice. ### **Why This Course?** \- **Critical and timely content:** Clinician suicide loss is more common than we acknowledge—this course helps break the silence with tools that truly support healing. \- **Expert-led instruction:** Instructor Khara Croswaite Brindle offers not only deep expertise but also the authenticity of lived experience and nationally recognized training credentials. \- **Mission-aligned learning:** Offered by the Telehealth Certification Institute, this course reflects a commitment to excellence, growth, and compassion in continuing education. ### **Learning Objectives:** \- Explore the physical and psychological impact each client's death by suicide has on a clinician. \- Identify healing strategies for clinicians experiencing a client suicide. \- Develop supportive leadership for mental health professionals to remain in the field after a client's suicide.

With a predicted 1 in 4 mental health professionals, including clinical supervisors, therapists, and social workers losing a client to suicide sometime in their career, this book also serves to explore this life-altering event, including an in-depth look at the personal and professional impact on clinicians through therapist stories, the mental health leadership and support needed to heal, and tools that encourage a purposeful transition from crippling anxiety and grief towards post-traumatic growth and meaning. ### **Disclosure Statement:**  The instructor(s) for this course receive compensation for their services.
