Assignment: 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.
Post 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.
