Participants will be introduced to the Self-Directed Violence Classification System (SDVCS), a nomenclature supported by the DoD/Veterans Affairs (VA) for self-directed violence and suicidal behavior. In addition, a review of two theories of suicide - the Fluid Vulnerability Theory and the Interpersonal Psychological Theory are discussed. The 2019 VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines for Assessment and Management of Patients at Risk for Suicide are reviewed focusing on suicide risk evaluations.
