Thought-provoking insights from Tiago C. Zortea who invites us all to reflect closely on the origins our research ideas in self-harm and suicide prevention

#CSSHRI2024 National Suicide Research Foundation

Professor Kapur summarises the conclusions and recommendations from recent research findings from the Centre for Mental Health and Safety #NCISH2024

.Philip Pirie is first asked what can people do to support his work? Philip says clinicians should try and raise awareness around risk assessment within their organisation. louis appleby adds that alternatives should be presented to clinicians #NCISH2024

Our Prof Nav Kapur discusses a question on awareness and stigma around suicide and self-harm. He says it is important to find the right balance between destigmatising suicide and self-harm, whilst also making sure not to normalise these behaviours #NCISH2024

.Philip Pirie emphasised that suicide risk must not be stratified. Instead, a psychosocial approach, holistically assessing suicide risk, focusing on developing a therapeutic relationship and understanding needs is crucial #NCISH2024

The 2022 NICE guidelines specify that risk assessment tools and scales should not be used to predict future suicide or repetition of self-harm. nice.org.uk/guidance/ng225… #NCISH2024

.louis appleby said that ethnic minorities are not one group & services must take local ethnicity into account. Read our The Lancet Psychiatry paper which concludes that ‘Effective approaches to prevention might differ between minority ethnic groups’ thelancet.com/journals/lanps… #NCISH2024

Charlotte Charlotte Williamson will use the bursary to support her attendance at the EPA Section of Epidemiology & Social Psychiatry where she intends to present her work as an individual presentation and within a symposium on Military Psychiatry #NCISH2024
