Working with a person who is suicidal is a very scary thought because essentially their life is in your hands. One wrong move or recommendation and it could lead to them committing the act. Although I am aware even the best social worker’s have clients die on them and by no means is it their fault. Many social workers dread the idea of working with suicidal clients, however I do not. I look forward to being able to help clients overcome their situation and thinking of clever interventions to help them continue their life if even for a day. The strengths I would bring to the table of a client who is feeling suicidal is empathy, for the fact that I have a long standing history with suicide. Not only can I relate to the family I can relate
