A CLIENT IS SELF HARMING WITH A PIECE OF PLASTIC THEY BROKE OFF THEIR FIDGET, WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH?

Client asked to go on a drive with a staff member. During drive, client shares that they are having high SI and are thinking about a plan. "I think I want to die, but everything seems too painful or hard to do." When staff asks if client is thinking about harming themselves or ending their life, their reply is "i dont know". For the remainder of the drive they remain silent and refuse eye contact. What are your next steps?
- Always take SI seriously.
- Monitor client who is presenting with SI more closely with a Q5 rather than Q15, Commicate with CC partner. send a message to RS and clinical team (PT & CM). Clinical may change Q5 to line of sight if there is relevant history
- If clients SI continues to heighten with physical symtoms (anxiety, dissassociation, isolation) and if their behaviors shift that show intent, contact chain of command as necessary immediately. RS (Karina) PM (Hilda) PT (Ashley) AED (Pete)
