Suicide Risk Screener for Parents
Parent version of the Suicide Risk Screener published by The Columbia Lighthouse Project to help identify risk and prevent suicide.
An important component of keeping youth safe following a stated or perceived risk for suicide is to assess the individual’s access to lethal means. While this is not an exclusive list, it is intended to help guide caregivers to assess their environment so that they may remove/restrict potential lethal means from the environment.
