Our Work
Our Research
We know something about what works for people known to be at risk, but the majority of people who die by suicide were not identified as at risk before death, and did not make it in to see a mental health professional. We have to start thinking about this other 60%. While healthcare settings are important, we also need efforts to reach the majority of suicidal people where they are - in the community, on social media, in schools, workplaces, all settings that we have not been able to fully engage and permeate. We know what works but unfortunately, currently most people who are suicidal will never receive an evidence-based practice. These are the challenges our center is working to address.
