Gary Sibcy, Ph.D.
Dr. Gary Sibcy reviews and unpacks the Safe-T 5 Step Evaluation & Triage System for Suicide Assessment developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the American Psychological Association (APA). Through three role
plays, Dr. Sibcy demonstrates how to use this method with clients of varying suicide risk level. Clinicians are encouraged not only to get a suicide assessment right, but to demonstrate and document how they have thought through the factors competently and documented the process.
