When I took the training course for our county crisis hotline, we had a sheet called the suicide checklist that sat right beside our list of resource clergy, &c.). We listened to the caller and checked off the traits or symptoms he exhibited and if he had X of the traits he was considered suicidal. It was then our job to notify authorities and try to pry the caller. Is anyone familier with such a formal list? I looked for a copy of mine to submit but I don't seem to have one anymore. decvax!cwruecmp!krm
