Discussion: Suicide Assessment
Effective suicide prevention counseling can literally save a life. With timely interventions, treatment and support, suicides and suicide attempts can be prevented. In crisis counseling, how you encounter the suicidal client may differ from the traditional face-to-face interactions we typically consider for long-term care. Some suicidal clients reach out with a phone call or online messaging. Other times we are given a written case referral and asked to consult for immediate safety planning. Since we encounter suicidal clients in a variety of platforms, this discussion is designated to help you not only perfect your skills in determining how to assess and intervene with a suicidal client, but also to consider the impact of how the client information is presented on our decision making regarding best client care.
In this Discussion, you will be assigned a particular case presentation to review. Students with the last name A–I will watch the video recording as if working with a face-to-face or online client. Students with the last name J–R will review the transcript as if given a written referral. Students with the last name S–Z will listen to the audio recording as if speaking to a client by phone. Based on your assigned format, you will assess for risk factors and begin safety planning for your client.
To Prepare:
· Download the transcript and review the video Facilitative Response Activity. Consider how you might facilitate or formulate a response to the client scenarios.
· Review the video How to accurately assess and help a client from the Learning Resources for this week.
· Based on your last name, review the case presentation Suicide assessment and safety planning in the format assigned.
Note: When the media resource is accessed and appears, please make certain that you choose the format that coincides with the group you are assigned.
