About this video
Practice choosing an empathic response to an adult experiencing depression, allowing time to answer and clarifying without judgment. Compare supportive statements with false reassurance and rehearse a response to a fictional inpatient scenario using the original LISTEN / CLARIFY / CONNECT study cues.
Recognize when concerning words require prompt supervising-RN assessment and when current suicidal thoughts or immediate danger require immediate clinical help, remaining with the patient and following the local safety pathway. This focused communication lesson supports supervised student practice; it does not authorize independent risk assessment, psychotherapy, diagnosis, treatment or discharge decisions.
