Silence in an evaluation is often misunderstood. When a client becomes non-verbal, it’s rarely resistance, it’s the nervous system responding to trauma. Pushing for answers in those moments can retraumatize the client and weaken the integrity of the evaluation.

Trauma-informed evaluations recognize that communication doesn’t always come through words. Careful observation, alternative forms of expression, pacing, and collaboration with mental health professionals allow evaluators to gather meaningful, defensible information without causing harm.

When done correctly, this approach ensures the evaluation respects the client’s mental health while remaining court-ready, a balance that matters deeply in high-stakes cases.

How have you handled situations where a client was unable to verbalize their trauma? What strategies have protected both the client and the case?

Surviving suicidal feelings can be an incredibly challenging journey, but it's important to remember that healing and hope are possible. When someone experiences these feelings, it's a sign that they are in deep emotional pain and need support. A crucial first step is to reach out to a mental health professional who can provide guidance and strategies for coping. Therapy, whether individual or group, can offer a safe space to explore these emotions, understand their root causes, and develop healthier ways to manage them.

In addition to seeking professional help, it's important to connect with a support network of friends and family who can offer emotional assistance. Sometimes, simply sharing these feelings with someone you trust can provide immense relief. Creating a safety plan is another critical step, outlining strategies to use during moments of crisis. Remember, healing is a process, and with the right support and treatment, individuals can move toward a place of greater emotional well-being and resilience.
