TLDR
Two educational tutorial programs are described, one interactive program is designed to teach students how to apply crisis concepts to a practice simulation, and the second program is designs how to assess lethality with a suicidal client.
Abstract
This paper briefly describes two educational tutorial programs, and the efforts of this author to evaluate the effectiveness of these computer mediated programs. One interactive program is designed to teach students how to apply crisis concepts to a practice simulation, and the second program is designed to teach students how to assess lethality with a suicidal client. Formal evaluations by students of these two programs and student performance on a follow-up quiz have produced positive results. A comparison study of classes who completed these programs and a class that did not have the training has also produced significant, favorable results.
