New NZ Research on Outcomes after a Suicide Attempt

6/12/2013

This week, an article was published on findings from the internationally acclaimed Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, which clearly showed that people who attempt suicide by age 24 are at high risk for developing a range of mental and physical health and social problems in adulthood. These findings, which also involve our studies on self-harmful behaviours reported by the Dunedin Study members over the past decade, highlighted the importance of providing effective support by health and welfare services as well as the community to reduce the risk of suicidal or self-harm behaviours in this particular group of young people.  For a summary of the study and its findings, please click here.  We hope you will find ways to apply these findings in your own communities to help people who are vulnerable and feeling down, especially at this time of the year when many tend to experience an increase in their stressful life circumstances. Please feel free to use our sources of help  and fact sheets and external links on this website.
