Suicide Risk Assessment

Suicide Risk Assessment is a process used by mental health professionals to evaluate an individual's likelihood of harming themselves. It involves asking questions about thoughts of suicide, feelings of hopelessness, past behavior, and current stressors. The assessment considers factors like mental health history, personal challenges, and support systems. The goal is to identify individuals at risk and provide appropriate support or intervention. This process is crucial for developing a tailored safety plan and ensuring the person's well-being, helping to prevent potential crises and promote recovery.
