Responding to Suicidal Thoughts: Double-storying Hope and Despair

Angel Yuen MSW RSW
presented by Narrative Therapy Centre

10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time
Online via Zoom

When having conversations with people experiencing suicidal thoughts, narrative practitioners endeavor to richly acknowledge despair while also being on the lookout for people’s skills in living.

In this workshop, Angel Yuen will share stories and wisdom of those who have experienced suicidal thoughts and their skills and knowledges of coming out of dark times.

During this online workshop together we will:

• discuss some of the limitations of mainstream suicidology
• learn how externalizing practices can help to widen space between the person and hopelessness/despair/suicidal thoughts
• honour multiplicity and complexity of suicidal thoughts in ways that do not pathologize distress
• consider an alternative framework for conversations about suicide
• practice narrative lines of enquiry that create openings to subordinated stories in the shadows
