Safety Assessment — A safety assessment is a direct evaluation of suicidal thoughts, self-harm risk, intent, planning, available means, protective factors, and immediate danger. A clinician may also examine psychotic symptoms, reckless behavior, substance use, isolation, unbearable pain, and major changes in mood. Honest answers help determine whether routine follow-up, urgent intervention, or emergency care is necessary. — Safety and Crisis Response
