Assessment Information

Assessments and screening tools offer clinicians the ability to gather information about a client in an effort to effectively treat the client's needs.  

 

The importance of accurately conducting, reporting and using assessment data are reflected in each of the professional organization's Code of Ethics.   These standards dictate the precautions, training, and dialogue necessary to best meet the needs of a client expressing suicidal ideation.

 

A listing of screening tool resources is provided including the citation for the tool as well as publications and Web sites about depression and suicide risk screening tools.
