Understanding and managing suicide risk
Overview
This narrative review synthesizes systematic reviews and meta-analyses regarding global public health concerns related to suicidal behaviors and non-suicidal self-harm. It highlights that restricting access to lethal means reduces suicide deaths, while noting current limitations in predicting future behavior with clinical instruments. The resource outlines psychosocial interventions such as safety plans and follow-up contact, and identifies a need for further research into recovery mechanisms.
