1:00PM – 4:30PM

With depression and anxiety rates still on the rise, assessing suicide risk is increasingly important to clinicians. Having an agreement with the client, even in writing, is not sufficient to protect their safety. There are many variables to consider in determining real suicide risk. This presentation will provide useful information to those who deal directly with clients suffering with one of several disorders that carry a significant suicide risk or clients at risk due to situational changes in their life, i.e. death of a loved one, loss of a job. The duty to protect will also be discussed and assessment strategies will be addressed. The need for consultation will also be presented. 

 

OBJECTIVES:

•  Attendees will identify significant factors for increased suicide risk.

 

• Attendees will be able to describe how to use appropriate questions and interventions in assessing and preventing suicide. 

 

• Attendees will be able to determine a plan of action to be made with the client when suicide risk is assessed.

 

•  Attendees will be able to describe the importance of  peer group discussions, decisions and consultations in preventing suicide.
