Suicide Assessment Checklist

Mental health professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors commonly use suicide assessment checklists.

A suicide assessment checklist is used when there is a concern about an individual's potential risk for suicide.

The checklist is filled out during an interview with the individual or based on information gathered from other sources. It helps the mental health professional assess various risk and protective factors, identify warning signs, and formulate an action plan.
