Other Questions?
What is independent self-study?
Independent self-study is a form of education involving no interaction with an instructor or other workshop participants. You will work through the readings and exercises on your own, in your own time, pace, and style. You are in control and the workshop material is designed to facilitate this.
What amount of time is required to complete this workshop?
Because the workshop is self-paced and the background and experience of the participants is varied, the time required to complete the workshop will vary for each learner.
The workshop material has been presented as two 8-hour workshops, but that does not include any of the time for practice and review that are provided in the on-line format. It would be reasonable to anticipate spending 20 to 24 hours on the workshop.
Your registration fee allows unlimited access to the course content for a period of 30 days, allowing you to complete the course material at times that work for you. If you require an extension, the fee is $36.75 for a 30 day extension. You are required to contact our administration office to request and pay for the extension prior to your original expiry date.
My workplace requires me to take a workshop in crisis intervention. Will this training fulfill that requirement?
You will need to check the workshop’s curriculum against the required training of your workplace.
Many training standards use the term "crisis intervention" to describe the management of volatile situations and the use of non-abusive restraints. This workshop does not specifically address those topics. Instead it deals with the psycho-social aspects of crisis and crisis support.
What if several of us in one workplace want to take the workshop together?
Terrific! By taking the workshop as a group you’ll have ample opportunities to support and encourage each other. We simply ask that each of you register and pay the workshop fee. This will give each person her or his own password and workshop access.
By taking the workshop you will also be supporting its maintenance and on-going development. We have tried to keep the cost reasonable so that the financial aspect is not a burden or a barrier for anyone. If you have further questions about, please contact us (see below).
Is there a certificate for this workshop?
The course is entirely self-directed. There is no monitoring of time spent on the workshop, sections completed, or quiz results. Therefore, we issue registration certificates only upon request. As the certificate confirms only when you registered for the online course, but does not confirm successful completion, most registrants find it sufficient to keep a copy of the registration letter and a copy of their receipts.
The workshop is designed to facilitate self-directed learning for professional development. It may also serve as a helpful review for those preparing to write the Crisis Worker Certification exam offered by the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention.
If you are interested in becoming certified for crisis work, you may want to explore this process further by referring to the resources section at www.suicideprevention.ca.
