Warning Sign Recognition Reference¶
Specification¶
The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 5: Mental Health and Crisis Support.
Type: infographic
**sim-id:** warning-sign-recognition-reference<br/>
**Library:** p5.js<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy Level: Remember (L1)
Bloom Verb: identify, recognize, list
Learning objective: Students identify and recognize verbal, behavioral,
and emotional warning signs of suicide or self-harm risk, and recall the
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline as an immediate resource.
Layout: Three labeled columns — "Verbal Signs," "Behavioral Signs,"
"Emotional Signs" — each containing four short, plainly worded example
phrases drawn directly from the chapter text. A persistent banner across
the top reads "Call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free,
confidential, and available 24/7."
Interactive elements: Click any example phrase to open an infobox
restating the sign in supportive, non-diagnostic language and reminding
the student that noticing a sign calls for immediate, caring action, not
diagnosis. Click the banner to reveal one additional sentence: "988 is
appropriate whether you are worried about yourself or someone else."
Instructional Rationale: Recognizing named categories of warning signs and
recalling the crisis resource is Remember-level, so a labeled,
click-to-reveal reference infographic is used rather than a scenario
simulation. No interactive element in this specification simulates,
role-plays, or depicts a suicide attempt or self-harm act; content is
strictly limited to naming recognizable signs and reinforcing the 988
resource.
Implementation notes: p5.js; sign text and supportive infobox copy stored
as data objects; layout responsive to window resize; calm, plain visual
style with no crisis imagery.
