Strategies to prevent suicide:how to prevent suicide
Suicide prevention strategies are concerned with:
identifying and reducing availability of and access to the means of suicide;
improving health care services and promoting supportive and rehabilitation functions for persons affected by suicidal behaviour;
improving diagnostic procedures and subsequent treatment;
increasing the awareness of health care staff of their own attitudes and taboos towards suicide prevention and mental illness;
increasing knowledge through public education about mental illness and its recognition at an early stage;
supporting media reporting on suicide and attempted suicide;
promoting research on suicide prevention and encouraging the collection of data on the causes of suicide by avoiding duplication of statistical records.
