    A big red flag when talking to Josie was her statement that “she doesn’t care about living anymore.” I need to determine to what degree her depression is affecting her and what her risk for suicide is. One of the tools that could be used to grade her suicide level is the eleven-item Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (KADS). This is a list of eleven questions that are scored on a simple four-point scale and every answer is scored: (a) = 0; (b) = 1; (c) = 2; and (d) = 3. Once all of the questions have been answered the scores are totaled. Higher scores would indicate a higher suicide risk; lower scores could suggest potential improvement. (Brooks, 2004). Another tool that could be used to determine Josie’s suicide risk level is the TASR-A. This is a Tool for Assessment of Suicide Risk in…
