An individual is considered to be in imminent risk if:
- Stated they have a desire & intent
- Access to means
- Specific plan
- The crisis counselor assesses that the individual is likely to seriously harm themselves if nothing is done to reduce the individual's risk/increase their safety in the near future
The statement "Plan to follow through in September 2024" suggests a distant timeline, which typically would not be considered imminent risk. Imminent risk generally involves immediate or near-term threats.
