“While there have been great strides made in recent years for increasing awareness, providing education, and reducing the stigma that surrounds mental health and those who die by suicide, it is essential that all healthcare professionals are able to recognize risk factors and warning signs of suicide,” said Nika Ball, MOT, OTR/L, ATP, CE administrator and assistant editor for OccupationalTherapy.com.

“Additionally, it is critical that all healthcare professionals are aware of suicide risk assessment strategies for various settings and have a plan in place for how to manage acute suicidal crisis in order to help prevent suicide.”
