In this interactive workshop we will discuss the need for multi-iterative and tiered suicidality screening for sexual assault survivors. Individuals who have experienced sexual assault are more likely to have increased ideations, suicide attempts, and dying by suicide. Often many of these survivors do not report suicidal ideations or do not seek resources because they are not asked about suicide. Furthermore, many agencies are underprepared in how to assess and support survivors who do disclose suicidality. Often, many organizations default to calling Mobile Crisis Services or 988. This can create overreliance on one particular resource.
