Thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness and acquired capacity.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

What are signs that someone might be feeling suicidal?

Talking about suicide, they might say something like ‘sometimes I feel like I just want to die.’
Self-harming behaviour, like cutting.
Giving away their belongings, or saying ‘when I’m gone I want you to have this’.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

What could you do if you believe someone might be considering suicide?

Nothing, it’s probably attention-seeking behaviour that is better off ignored.
Nothing, talking about suicide with someone might make them more likely to take their own life.
Nothing, it might be their karma to take their own life, and it’s not your place to interrupt this.
Approach them, let them know your concerns, and take action based on the Mental Health First Aid Australia guidelines.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

What questions could you ask someone who has disclosed suicidal thoughts?

Questions to assess their safety, including if they have a plan, how they intend to take their life, if they have decided to go ahead, if they have taken any steps towards carrying out their plan, if they are using drugs or alcohol and if they have ever attempted or planned suicide in the past.
Questions about the morality of suicide, including if they realise that suicide is a sin and will ruin the lives of people around them.
Questions about their support, including if they’ve told anyone else about the suicidal thoughts, if they have some who can support them after class, and if they have a therapist or professional support team.
Answers 1 and 3.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

How could you care for yourself after a student discloses suicide ideation?

Stay within your scope of practice, and remind yourself that you are not responsible for the behaviours of another person. While you can offer support you may not be able to prevent someone from taking their life.
Seek support for yourself. Talk to your therapist, mentor, colleague or a mental health crisis line.
Take the time to tune into what you need, and do that.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.
