Suicidal ideations pose a serious risk, particularly for individuals like Ben, given his history of such ideations and a prior diagnosis of BPD. To address this risk effectively, setting SMART goals tailored Bens circumstances. In a recent MSE, Ben reported ongoing but non-immediate suicidal ideations, stating a desire to "just go to sleep and not wake up". Ben states he fears "relapse and hospitalization". Such ideations pose long-term challenges, especially for those with BPD, they don't always indicate a fatal intent. However, research indicates around 75% of those with BPD attempt suicide, and roughly 10% succeed, highlighting the need to take any suicidal remarks seriously (Department of Health Victoria, 2023). Until Ben's BPD diagnosis is re assessed, Bens healthcare team must respond empathetically. The plan is working with Ben to identify triggers for his suicidal ideations and maintaining a daily check in to document these instances and related emotions. Ben will share his emotional state with the community mental health worker or attend a support group twice weekly, for face to face meeting online telehealth is also an option to be undertaken (Gabriela Pacas Fronza et al., 2024).
Considering that Ben lives in regional Victoria The effectiveness of Mindful based interventions (MBI) in addressing various substance use outcomes indicates therapeutic potential, showing notable impacts on key areas like stress, thought suppression, responses to alcohol cues, attentional bias, and psychological flexibility (Demina et al., 2023) will align with Ben's recovery, projected to reducing hospitalizations and enhancing mental health stability. His progress will be reviewed weekly, and strategies adjusted accordingly, with a complete reassessment in three months to evaluate long-term outcomes and implement long term goals.
Goal 2: Reduce Suicidal Ideation
- Specific: Ben will work on identifying triggers for his suicidal thoughts and learn coping mechanisms to manage them.
- Measurable: Daily check-ins with his mental health worker and documentation of any suicidal ideations.
- Achievable: Ben will receive therapy focused on emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
- Relevant: Reducing suicidal ideation is critical to ensure Ben's safety and well-being.
- Time-bound: This goal will be evaluated bi-weekly through progress meetings with his mental health team.
