About this course
The United States has the unfortunate distinction of ranking first in homicide among high-income nations. According to the CDC, homicide is the second leading cause of death (tied with suicide) between the ages of 1-24 and the third to fifth leading cause of death between the ages of 25-44. This online CE course for mental health professionals reviews screening measures helpful when evaluating patients with violent ideation. The course will address how to differentiate between benign violent fantasy and potentially dangerous obsessions and delusions. Advice for identifying patients at risk for intimate partner homicide and spree homicide are provided. Moreover, as guns are the weapon of choice for homicide, the course will illustrate how mental health providers can play an important role by discussing firearm safety with patients and by advocating for removal of guns from the home of at-risk patients.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
