Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or trapped in a level of pain that seems unending. You might feel hopeless, numb, or burdened by the belief that things will not improve. These thoughts can feel frightening and isolating, yet they are often a signal of deep distress rather than a true desire to die.
At Selah Counselling, we take suicidal thoughts seriously and respond with calm, compassionate care. Your safety is our priority. We work with you to reduce immediate risk, strengthen protective supports, and understand the factors contributing to your pain. Together, we focus on stabilizing your nervous system, addressing underlying depression, trauma, or stress, and rebuilding a sense of hope and connection. You do not have to navigate this alone.
If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please seek urgent support by calling 911 or going to your nearest emergency department. In Canada, you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline, available 24 hours a day.

Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
When working with someone experiencing suicidal ideation, thoughts, or intention, mental health professionals follow specific protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual. Here are some common steps they might take:
1. Establishing a Safe Environment: The mental health professional ensures that the person is in a safe physical environment, free from any immediate harm or access to means of self-harm. If necessary, they may collaborate with emergency services to ensure the individual's safety.
2. Active Listening and Emotional Support: The mental health professional provides a non-judgmental and empathetic space for the person to express their feelings and thoughts. Active listening and emotional support are crucial in helping the individual feel heard, understood, and validated.
3. Assessing the Risk: The mental health professional conducts a thorough assessment to determine the severity of the person's suicidal thoughts, intentions, and risk factors. This assessment may involve exploring the frequency, intensity, and duration of the thoughts, as well as any previous suicide attempts, access to means, and the presence of supportive relationships.
4. Developing a Safety Plan: Collaboratively, the mental health professional and the individual create a safety plan that outlines specific strategies and resources to help manage the crisis. This plan may include identifying trusted individuals to reach out to, developing coping skills and distraction techniques, and establishing steps to remove immediate access to self-harm methods.
5. Referring to Emergency Services: If the risk is immediate or imminent, mental health professionals are mandated to involve emergency services to ensure the individual's safety. This may involve contacting crisis hotlines, local mental health crisis teams, or even admitting the person to a psychiatric facility, depending on the severity of the situation.
6. Treatment and Therapy: Mental health professionals provide ongoing therapy and treatment tailored to the individual's needs. They may utilize evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the underlying issues contributing to suicidal ideation and promote mental well-being.
7. Collaborative Care: Mental health professionals often work collaboratively with other healthcare providers, such as psychiatrists or primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care. This may involve medication management, consultation, or coordination of care to address any underlying mental health conditions contributing to the person's distress.
8. Follow-up and Support: Mental health professionals prioritize ongoing support and follow-up after the immediate crisis has passed. They monitor the person's progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide continued emotional support to prevent relapses and ensure the individual's well-being.

Aaron Chin

When working with suicidal thoughts, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Winnipeg's long, harsh winters and geographic isolation contribute to elevated rates of seasonal depression and mood challenges, and therapists with expertise in SAD and long-term mood management serve a genuine clinical need. The city has the highest proportion of Indigenous residents of any major Canadian city, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are a critically important part of the local mental health landscape. Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg provides major institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community serving River Heights, St. Vital, and St. Boniface. Winnipeg's working-class and multicultural character shapes a therapy culture that values pragmatism, community belonging, and directness.
