This presentation presents the current psychometric properties of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) across clinical settings and populations. Reliability and predictive validity are foregrounded, while focusing on how psychometric properties vary across settings and populations. Then, this presentation introduces a new mnemonic framework grounded in the C-SSRS to support, not replace, counselor training, recall, and intervention in suicide risk assessment utilizing the C-SSRS.
