Risk decisions are challenging, and can be difficult, but should not be governed by fear and a ‘what if’ syndrome. In this video I use four separate quotes to help us reflect on our decision-making processes.

Is there a place for risk averse decisions in the concept of positive risk-taking? In this video I explore the importance of following a structured approach in order to achieve the best decision in each individual situation.

In this video I reflect on a Scientific American journal article reviewing two meta-analyses of suicide risk assessment research. Our focus on the process of risk assessment can detract from the application of the more useful skills of clinical engagement… discuss!

Groucho Marx said “These are my principles, and if you don’t like them, well… I have others.” In this video I outline a number of principles of best practice when we are working with risk.

Where is the proof that what you are doing really works? The research messages may look slightly different, depending on the particular perspective you are taking. In this video I reflect on notes of caution when we are using risk research to underpin our interventions.

A crisis is a time of elevated risk, a time for working at the edge… but it is also a time for potential new learning. In this video I explore how we may consider the role of positive risk-taking to focus on these possibilities.

In this video I reflect on our use of language, and why I frequently prefer to use the phrase ‘Working with Risk’. It’s what we are doing every day! I also offer an important practical tip that is almost always overlooked in our statements of risk assessment.

Risk assessment can frequently become little more than an administrative exercise, if undertaken in the wrong conditions for the wrong reasons. It is a very important means to an end, but not an end in itself. And, as such, it should provide the powerful rationale for important clinical risk decisions. However, we must also clarify when we do a risk screen as opposed to a full risk assessment.
