“This therapy fits in with traditional psychiatry and psychotherapeutic approaches. But it adds something that I think is hard to come by: helping the patient be in touch with his or her own heart and authenticity. I cannot recommend this approach highly enough."

Many suicidal persons, who admit to years of counseling, hospitalizations, and medication say they will feel better for awhile but then feel twice as suicidal the next time they are in crisis. What this indicates is that an underlying problem keeps changing form, but never changes.
Towards a better understanding of this underlying problem, please join suicidologist Fredric Matteson to an enlightened evening of informal conversation about this important issue as he shares what he has learned about this underlying problem from working the past two
decades with over 16,000 suicidal inpatients.
CCT Associates James Hayes and Jason Moran will join
Fredric Matteson in sharing how this innovative, educational approach provides a new pathway out of suicide.
