The "ASK" Workshop is a one-day workshop meant for professional helpers working with or caring for children who want to learn more about protective and risk factors for suicide in youngsters from kindergarten to middle-school.

Participants will learn:

• a research-based definition of suicidality in children,
• a holistic perspective of the interaction between trait factors and environmental factors,
• key questions helpers need to ask in order to understand these effects,
• research on a child's conceptual understanding of death and suicide and how this developmental factor may impact risk for suicide,
• personality traits commonly seen in children at risk of suicide,
• issues to consider when addressing suicide directly with a child, and
• how to support cooperative help - seeking with parents and caregivers for a child at risk
