This 2-hour Pre-Recorded Asynchronous workshop equips mental health professionals with the applied clinical skills needed to conduct ethically sound, person-centered suicide risk assessments grounded in contemporary evidence. Participants will develop competency in identifying empirically supported risk and protective factors — including social determinants of health, structural inequities, and individual-level variables — and learn to conduct clear, direct suicide inquiries that address ideation, intent, planning, behaviors, and access to lethal means.
The workshop builds capacity to differentiate across low, moderate, and high-risk levels and to construct risk management plans that are clinically rigorous and responsive to each client's cultural context, identity, and circumstances. Attention is given to the ethical and systemic dimensions of assessment, including clinician bias, power dynamics, and disparities affecting ethnoracially minoritized and LGBTQ+ populations.
Participants will also critically examine the emerging role of artificial intelligence in suicide assessment and documentation, weighing its potential alongside its limitations and ethical implications. Throughout, learning is anchored in realistic case material and structured opportunities to apply, critique, and refine assessment skills in practice.
Course Learning Outcome Objectives
1. Identify at least 5 risk and 5 protective factors relevant to suicide assessment.
2. Demonstrate the ability to conduct a suicide inquiry using clear, concise clinical language, including ideation, plan, behaviors, intent, access to lethal means, and homicidal inquiry.
3. Differentiate between low, moderate, and high suicide risk levels and recommend at least three appropriate interventions for each level.
4. Critically evaluate the risks, limitations, and ethical considerations of using artificial intelligence tools in suicide assessment, documentation, and clinical decision‑making.
5. Integrate risk factors, protective factors, and clinical formulation to develop ethically sound, person‑centered suicide risk management plans.
6. Evaluate ethical, cultural, and contextual factors that influence suicide risk assessment, including clinician bias, power dynamics, and systemic inequities.
