Suicide Prevention Workshop: Suicide Risk Assessment and Safety Planning

This presentation provided a brief overview of suicide and how to recognize a person with suicidal thoughts, determine the level of risk, and collaborate in safety planning. The presenters focused on skill building for conducting suicide risk screening and assessment utilizing the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), as well as administration of the Safety Planning Intervention (SPI). Participants learned how suicide risk screening can inform someone’s risk level, which in turn will guide the steps in safety planning. Presenters: Shawn Silverstein, Ph.D. and Sandri Kramer
