Question

Please describe appropriate interventions for low-risk, and high-risk suicidal clients. Why is your intervention appropriate?

Answer 1

Appropriate interventions for low-risk, suicidal clients include;

Make psychological contact by inviting the client to talk

Assessment of the risk by the counselor

Engaging social support to provide emotional support to the client

Voluntary hospitalization if the client agrees

Removing all the possible means to committing suicide.

Appropriate interventions for high risk, suicidal clients include;

Make psychological contact by inviting the client to talk

Assessment of the risk by the counselor

Engaging social support to provide emotional support to the client

Removing all the possible means to committing suicide.

Involuntary hospitalization if the client agrees as it leads to prevention in high-risk situations when a client is “uncooperative”

These interventions are appropriate as they are based on research and experience.
