Short Article: Suicide Survivors and Suicide Prevention - Should there be a Link?
Kia ora, unfortunately Suicide rates are far too high, and the more that people write about this topic, the better informed we become.
The following short article "SUICIDE SURVIVORS AND SUICIDE PREVENTION - SHOULD THERE BE A LINK? by Said Shahtahmasebi and Caroll Aupouri-Mclean seeks to ask critical questions about Suicide Prevention. Do we have all the information we need? who are the gatekeepers? what is the best process to follow? Is there a need for specific minority groups to be included in the decision-making process? why and how? One of their statements which made alot of sense to me is"Suicide can affect anyone in the community and therefore requires a fast-track depoliticisation and collective community collaboration without prejudice at the grassroots". This is a good article to read. See site below:
