A public health approach to suicide prevention

Executive Summary

The Series, A public health approach to suicide prevention, published in The Lancet Public Health argues that a change in the narrative is needed to move from presenting suicide as a mental health issue to also acknowledging the impact of social factors, such as poverty, debt, addictions, homelessness, abuse, discrimination and social isolation, on a person’s decision to consider suicide. 
 
The Series highlights how clinical treatment services are critical for people in a suicidal crisis, but upstream measures that address social factors must also be included in national suicide prevention strategies to prevent people reaching crisis point. Tackling the social factors which contribute to suicide requires a policy re-set with a whole of government commitment for suicide prevention efforts – a “suicide prevention in all policies” approach.
