Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) Toolkit: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/research-conducted-at-nimh/asq-toolkit-materials/index.shtml
Please note: The ASQ Tool can be used with children under the age of 10 if there are behavioral/mental health issues documented. Dr. Horowitz , the creator of the tool , suggests if a child 5-7 is identified to be really struggling, they should be sent for evaluation and not just screening.
