• impulsivity/self control (incl substance abuse)
• past suicidal behaviour

Dynamic risks (+protective)

• recent/current suicidal ideation
• stressors/precipitants
• symptoms/suffering/recent change

Available resources: internal and social strengths to support safety and treatment planning.

foreseeable changes: which could quickly increase risk state (vulnerabilities)

risk to self and others

Risk status: compare to population

Risk state: compare to personal baseline
