Abstract

Guidelines for addressing and managing client suicide risk include discussing and conceptualizing protective factors. Counselors should be able to recall and discuss suicide protective factors that are applicable across client populations. SHORES, a suicide protective factors mnemonic that is supported by the literature, has applications for risk assessment and crisis intervention across settings, preventative care, strengths-based management, and counselor training. A case example and discussion serve to illustrate the wide-ranging application of SHORES in counseling practice. © 2019 by the American Counseling Association. All rights reserved.
