Do any of your training programs have a required course where suicide ideation, threats or attempts in clients is discussed? I always included it the Counseling and CDis course I taught, but the course was dropped when I retired. I'm old enough I guess to have experienced dealing with threats - eight times that I can remember. None were completed, but 5 of those involved people living with stuttering - two were children, two were young adults, and 1 an adult). Is suicide discussed in stuttering courses? Probably the least we all could do is guide our students to some of the resources listed on http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/suicide.html
