It is vital that suicide risk assessment be conducted at various points throughout treatment, and should not be viewed as a one-off event. Assessing risk should be conducted at particularly significant transition points within treatment (e.g., intake, discharge), as well as times when crisis is clearly visible [341]. In addition to conducting risk assessments at fixed points throughout treatment, it is important that AOD workers respond to their own informal assessment and conduct additional screening depending on a client’s presentation, behaviour, personal situation and/or circumstances, or ominous statements [341].
