S: In terms of today do you feel you want to kill yourself? Do you want to kill anyone else? Have you ever felt this way in the past? How do you handle a bad day? Do you have people you feel comfortable talking to when you have a bad day? Tell me your strengths.
S: From 0-100% in the car how often do you wear your seatbelt? Text and drive? Wear your bike helmet? Any guns in the home? Are they locked up? Do you know where the ammunition is? Do you know how to shoot it? Has your parent taught you gun safety?
