Supervision & Mentoring & Secondary Consult and Debriefing services
I specialize in providing professional mentorship and external supervision for workers involved in the critical areas of wellbeing promotion, suicide prevention and postvention.
Further, I provide consultation, supervision and debriefing to counsellors working with suicidal clients or dealing with the aftermath of a client's suicide.
Secondary Consult Service
Interacting with a suicidal person who may be in imminent danger is a challenging situation for most clinicians, counsellors and support workers. The interaction can often create for the professional a sense of uneasiness wondering if they have assessed the situation correctly or raises questions over the safety of the person or if the person is likely to actually kill him or herself. The worker may feel stuck or uncertain on how to shift the suicidal thinking in the client.
With over 36 years of experience in working with suicidal people, Barry Taylor is now providing the opportunity to have quick debrief on the day you have seen the suicidal person. It is Ideal for sole practitioner. As part of my commitment to supporting workers, there is no charge for this half hour session.
This service does not replace the worker’s professional supervision but rather complements it by providing a same day opportunity for the worker to discuss the interaction with a highly experienced suicide prevention practitioner.
If desired, a longer secondary consultation session can be arranged. There is a charge for this and any further sessions.
