OUR MOST RECENT EVENT
Stop, Drop, Roll: A Novel Method for Emotional Regulation
Over the course of this one-hour webinar, Dr. Ursula Whiteside will present a free, evidence-based solution for managing highly intense emotional states, which, if unchecked, may culminate in unplanned suicide attempts or other adverse outcomes. It empowers individuals to recognize and navigate these states safely, akin to the Stop, Drop, and Roll response to a physical fire. This approach draws on insights from survivors of suicide attempts and the foundational work of Dr. Marsha Linehan, in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Please find an attached paper under review and supplementary images for a more in-depth understanding.
