IHSS Suice Prevention through Depression Awareness for Recipients Sarah Cotta Agency: In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Placer County Supervisor: Cate Lynds
The goal of care for Placer County In-Home Supportive Services is to “provide older and disabled adults and children with domestic and personal care services which allow them the ability to live in their own homes safely and with dignity”. In an effort to further facilitate this goal, IHSS desired the production of a brochure to prevent suicide through depression awareness. The purpose of the project was to compose a handout to be utilized by the In-Home Support Services agency in Placer County. The handout will be provided to IHSS clients at the time of the initial intakes assessment, the annual renewal in-home visit, and be used as an educational tool for caregivers to be aware of the symptoms of depression. Therefore, the goal is for elderly IHSS clients to receive treatment, and begin living more fulfilling lives before suicide seems like a reasonable solution.
