This document discusses inspiring stories of people working in suicide prevention and well-being promotion. It lists several individuals and organizations, including Thomas Joiner who developed a theory of why people die by suicide involving acquired ability, burdensomeness, and failed belongingness. It also mentions the "5 Ways to Wellbeing" framework of connecting, being active, taking notice, keeping learning, and giving. The document advocates for prevention through promoting well-being, intervention with a destigmatized view of those at risk as having skills to learn, and postvention following models like Frank Campbell and Barry McGale to support families and communities after a suicide.
1) Suicide rates are highest among males aged 75 and over, and methods like hanging and self-poisoning are common in older adults.
2) Risk factors for suicide in later life include depression, physical illness, social isolation, and bereavement. Only a small percentage of older adult suicide completers had recent contact with mental health services.
3) Community-based prevention programs that educate primary care physicians about depression and increase screening have been shown to reduce elderly suicide rates. Tele-monitoring services may also help prevent suicide in at-risk older adults.
IAPT services play a role in preventing suicide by treating depression, which is a major risk factor for suicide. IAPT services provide talking therapies for depression and anxiety using a stepped care approach. They screen for suicide risk using standardized measures and directly ask clients about suicidal thoughts and plans. For those at risk, IAPT therapists develop safety plans that provide coping strategies and identify sources of support to help prevent suicide crises. They document risk assessments, management plans, and follow up arrangements to coordinate care.

Dr. Sharon McDonnell presented on the experiences and perceived needs of parents bereaved by suicide. Her research found that parents had negative experiences with professionals breaking the news of their child's death and a lack of follow up care. However, some parents reported positive interactions with doctors who were compassionate and supportive. McDonnell is developing a training program to help professionals better support those bereaved by suicide, as understanding in this area has improved but specialists services are still needed.
This document discusses the relationship between unemployment rates and suicide rates during economic recessions. It provides evidence from a 2012 BMJ study linking increases in suicides in England from 2008 onward to the financial crisis. Regions with larger rises in unemployment experienced greater growth in suicide rates, particularly among men. Charts show unemployment levels and suicide rates rising together in countries like Spain and falling together in Sweden. The conclusion is that unemployment increases due to economic downturns can contribute to elevated suicide rates.

The document discusses gender differences in suicide rates in the UK from 1981-2011. It shows that while depression is equally common in men and women, women are twice as likely to be diagnosed and treated for it. The tables provided show female suicide rates peak between ages 35-44, while male suicide rates are highest between ages 25-34 and remain elevated among older age groups. Overall, male suicide rates are significantly higher than female rates across all age groups.
The document discusses implementing a Community Response Plan (CRP) to prevent suicide clusters from occurring in a local area. The CRP aims to facilitate early detection of potential clusters and provide a timely multi-agency response. It outlines criteria for activating the full CRP, including unusual death circumstances, potential media interest, or a rise in suicides over a short period. It also describes the roles of various organizations in monitoring suicides and implementing the CRP through different response levels to address concerns until the risk level decreases. The CLEAR partnership helps build community capacity to assist during a suicide and ensures support services are clear and accessible.
The Greater Manchester Suicide Prevention Partnership was initiated in 2002 following the UK's National Suicide Prevention Strategy. It brings together agencies responsible for or interested in suicide reduction, including public health, local authorities, mental health providers, police, ambulance services, universities, and voluntary organizations. The partnership aims to share information and develop collaborative strategies. Recent achievements include installing Samaritan signs in hot spots, identifying vulnerable groups like men aged 35-49, improving information sharing between agencies, and developing audit tools to prevent suicide among hospital patients.
The document discusses suicide prevention from the perspective of Greater Manchester Police (GMP). It provides data on suicide deaths in the region, including that 19 people reported missing between 2012-2013 later committed suicide, most by hanging or drowning. It then describes a referral scheme between Bury Police Public Protection Investigation Unit (PPIU) and Samaritans, where police can refer at-risk individuals to Samaritans for confidential support with their consent. The scheme aims to help those struggling with issues beyond suicidal thoughts.
This document discusses suicide and fire deaths in Greater Manchester from 2007-2012. It found that non-preventable fire deaths, including those from suicide, increased 133% during this period. Suicide accounted for 37% of non-preventable fire deaths, with many involving self-immolation among middle-aged individuals. In response, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service aims to study self-immolation prevalence and circumstances to identify partnership opportunities for prevention. A mixed methods research approach is proposed to gather data, review literature, conduct case studies and make recommendations.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
