Many health professionals do not regularly encounter clients with suicidal ideation, making it challenging to manage these situations effectively. Proper management of a person at risk of suicide involves a thorough risk assessment followed by appropriate interventions to support client safety.

Many tools used by health professionals to assess suicide risk rely heavily on verbal information from clients, despite most interpersonal communication being non-verbal. To facilitate a more thorough risk assessment, both verbal and non-verbal cues must be assessed.
