I know the clinic where I used to go they didn't like dealing with suicidal clients much. Usually when you start there you are made to do a safety plan and given the crisis number hotline to call. I had a friend who made several suicide attempts. The clinic I was at dealt with people who were higher functioning mentally ill. Anyway this person got sent back to the other clinic where they treated lower functioning mentally ill clients. That kind of prevented me when I had suicidal urges and self harm from doing anything too serious. Not saying I hadn't tried. I almost got (demoted) a few times.
