Abstract

The purpose of the Canadian Coalition for Seniors' Mental Health (CCSMH) practice guideline "The Assessment of Suicide Risk and Prevention of Suicide" is to provide clinical practice recommendations for clinicians who encounter people 65 years of age and older who are at high risk for suicide because they are thinking about it or are planning it or have recently tried to harm or kill themselves.
