New research findings presented today demonstrating that NGO workers supporting #refugees and #asylumseekers have benefited from targeted #SuicidePrevention education. Significant improvements in confidence, competence, and use of safety planning to reduce suicidality. #NSPC19

[Adelaide Mental Health & Suicide Prevention @MHResearchUniSA]

.@AllisonMilner2 presents on suicide clusters at #NSPC19 - a clear and deep dive into data pertaining to high risk occupations. Asking: Are certain high risk occupations are at greater risk of being a spatial-temporal suicide cluster?

[Alison Calear @ACalear]

It was great to hear more about the new multimodal suicide prevention program led by @JoRobinson_Aus at the School and Youth session at #NSPC19 this morning. Looking forward to hearing the outcomes of this novel study.

[Alison Calear @ACalear]

A very informative plenary presentation on suicide stigma by @pbatterham at #NSPC19. More research is needed to understand how to reduce stigma and promote help-seeking. @CMHR_ANU @ANUPopHealth
