A Unique Suicide Risk Screening Tool. The Columbia Protocol, also known as the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), supports suicide risk screening through a series of simple, plain-language questions that anyone can ask.

You might get stuck in being the helper that you forget about taking care of yourself. It can feel rewarding when you help people to the point where you feel good helping but sometimes when you forget to take care of yourself, it gets harder to continue to support others in need. Here are ways to take care of yourself!
