Suicide Risk Screening Checker

No. The Suicide Risk Screening Checker is a screening aid only. It cannot diagnose any condition and does not replace an evaluation by a licensed mental health professional, a crisis line, or emergency care.

Stop and act right away: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department if there is immediate danger. Stay with the young person and remove access to lethal means where it is safe to do so.

No. Answers stay in your browser for the current session only and are never automatically transmitted anywhere. You can generate an optional summary to copy and share yourself, but nothing is sent without your explicit action.

It is designed for parents and guardians, teens, school counselors and teachers, and healthcare providers who want a quick, private way to check for suicide risk warning signs in youth ages 8–19.

Questions reflect established warning signs referenced by the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and SAMHSA, and results come from a fixed, deterministic rule set reviewed periodically by clinical staff rather than an AI-generated score.

California Teen Center offers in-person, psychiatrist-supervised care (PHP, IOP, outpatient, and individual/family/group therapy) for youth ages 8–19 in Yuba City and the Sacramento Valley, but does not treat substance abuse and is not an emergency service. Availability and eligibility must be confirmed directly.
