Positive risk-taking does not happen just by chance. It is a carefully thought through process of information gathering, analysis and decision-making. In this first of three videos I outline what we need as individual practitioners to give us confidence to engage in the process.

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.

We often get caught up in the confusion and the nuances of language. In this video I explore a clearer understanding of a Strengths Approach in practice.

Positive risk-taking happens in our everyday experiences, so the most effective way to describe it is to reflect on those risks we are taking. In this video I outline a reflective exercise, as well as the results of many workshop results.

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.

If the best indicator of future behaviour is past behaviour, can we really learn and make changes to manage risks in our lives? In this video I examine the importance of the context in which a risk occurs.

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.
