What is a mental health risk assessment?

Risk assessment is a process used by professionals in mental health and healthcare roles to help determine a person's risk of harm to themselves, others or their risk of being exploited by another person.
Risk assessment should be a collaborative process and this video discusses the important steps that I take when I am undertaking a risk assessment on an adult, youth or child. It then discusses safety planning for mental health and how we go about creating a safety plan or a suicide prevention plan for that individual client or patient.
I also have resources available for individuals struggling with low self-esteem and anxiety and my e-book can be downloaded here www.jordanburness.com/mindfulpathways
