A Public Health Approach to Suicide Prevention: Launch of a Lancet Public Health Series

The International Association for Suicide Prevention was delighted to host this webinar to mark the launch of this Lancet Public Health Series on World Suicide Prevention Day 2024. The special webinar was chaired by Associate Professor Alexandra Pittman and featured guest speakers and co-authors of the series, Professor Jane Pirkis, Professor Keith Hawton and Professor Rakhi Dandona. Quotes from the lead authors: Prof Keith Hawton, University of Oxford, UK, says: “Many suicides are preventable and public health strategies generally have the biggest impacts on reducing population suicide rates. This Series highlights key areas where public health policies are needed and examples of their effective implementation. We hope this will inspire those responsible for suicide prevention across the world to ensure that such approaches are applied in their countries and localities.” Prof Jane Pirkis, University of Melbourne, Australia, says: “Suicide is often thought of as stemming from mental illness, but factors like financial hardship, social isolation, discrimination, and domestic violence and abuse wield a major influence. This Series demonstrates that addressing these more upstream factors is likely to lead to sizeable reductions in suicide rates. We are calling on governments from around the world to take a “suicide prevention in all policies” approach that would see consideration given to how actions in a range of sectors might influence suicide and its prevention.” Explore the new 6-paper Lancet Public Health Series: www.thelancet.com/series/suicide-prevention
