@therapy.with.lindsey: Let’s talk about what actually happens when a client discloses suicidal ideation (SI) 🧠 A lot of people assume disclosure = automatic 911 call. That's not usually the case. As clinicians, our job is to assess risk — not panic. Most of the time, when someone shares they're having thoughts of suicide, we can: ✅ Assess for a plan, intent, and means ✅ Explore protective factors and reasons for living ✅ Build a collaborative safety plan together ✅ Increase support and follow-up — not remove autonomy Emergency services are reserved for imminent risk — a specific plan, access to means, and intent to act now. Passive SI or ideation without intent doesn't automatically mean hospitalization or a 911 call. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone and help is available: 📞 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 🏳️‍🌈 The Trevor Project (LGBTQ+ youth) — call 1-866-488-7386, or text START to 678-678 💬 Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741 🌐 988lifeline.org for chat support This is psychoeducation, not a replacement for training or clinical judgment.
