IDENTIFY RISKS & ACTION STEPS

A National Suicide Risk Identification and Intervention Initiative

The sources for this website come from clinical consensus, academic journals and books, and organizations, such as the CDC, NIMH, WHO, APA, AAP, ACOG, AFSP, MHA, and NAMI. For a complete list of these references, click here. Stop A Suicide Today provides suicide risk questions, connection to and identification of crisis resources, and information about suicide and its treatment for the public and clinicians. The Stop A Suicide Today program is not itself a health care provider. Scoring positive on the suicide risk questions is not synonymous with a clinical assessment of suicide risk. Suicide risk can be determined only by a complete evaluation performed by a health care clinician. It is recommended that anyone who either scores positive on the suicide risk questions or continues to have concerns about suicide in themselves or a loved one contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255), go to a health care clinician or local emergency department for an evaluation, or call 911 for emergency assistance.
