19 Sep Discussion: Assessing Suicide Risk
Discussion: Assessing Suicide Risk
As a social worker, you will likely at some point have a client with a positive suicide risk assessment. Many individuals with suicidal ideation also have a plan, and that plan may be imminent. Even when the risk is not urgent at a given moment, current research shows that most suicides occur within 3 months of the risk being assessed within a formal appointment. Ideation can quickly become a suicide.
For this Discussion, you view an initial suicide risk assessment. As you evaluate the social worker’s actions, imagine yourself in their place. What would you do, and why?
To prepare:
· Explore an evidence-based tool about suicide risk assessment and safety planning. See the Week 3 document Suggested Further Reading for SOCW 6090 (PDF) for a list of resources to review.
· Watch the “Suicide Assessment Interview” segment in the Sommers-Flanagan (2014) video to assess how it compares to your findings.
· Access the Walden Library to research scholarly resources related to suicide and Native American populations.
Provide a discussion Post which contains the following topics, content, and headings: a response in which you address the following:
· Identify elements of Dr. Sommers-Flanagan’s suicide risk assessment.
· Describe any personal emotional responses you would have to Tommi’s revelations and reflect on reasons you might experience these emotions.
· Describe the elements of safety planning that you would put in place as Tommi’s social worker in the first week and in the first months.
· Identify a suicide risk assessment tool you would use at future sessions to identify changes in her risk level. Explain why you would use this tool.
· Explain any adjustments or enhancements that might be helpful given Tommi’s cultural background. Support your ideas with scholarly resources.
Must contain at least 4 references and citations being certain to reference Dr. Sommers-Flanagan
