About the suicide response project
The SRP was developed by a team of experienced researchers, academics and psychologists.
It was co-designed with autistic and LGBTIQA+ people with lived experience of suicide ideation as well as their families and people with lived experience of being bereaved by suicide or having supported someone after a suicide attempt.
The SRP provides tips for the general public on how to detect and respond to suicide risk in others.

We acknowledge and remember all persons lost to us because of suicide as well as the people left behind. We acknowledge the enduring suffering suicide brings and the complex emotions and experiences of all people who have contemplated suicide. We acknowledge that those with lived experience can provide hope, resilience, and support to those at risk.
