Developing guidelines for supporting employees disclosing suicidal distress while working
Work plays an important role in supporting employees to enjoy mental wellbeing and a sense of purpose and meaning while contributing to productive workplaces. However, some employees experience suicidal distress while working. When disclosing suicidal distress to seek and receive help, employees may face barriers in receiving compassionate and supportive responses. Integrated workplace mental health approaches emphasise protecting and promoting g…
Suicide bereavement in men
Suicide bereavement can have a substantial psychosocial burden on men. Therefore, formal services such as counseling and support groups may be particularly important for them. However, traditional masculine norms, such as expectations of self-reliance, may preclude help-seeking, and little is known about how suicide-bereaved men perceive and engage with such services. This qualitative study aimed to address this gap by exploring men's experiences…
‘From that time onwards my role changed’. Disclosing suicidality in Australian workplaces a qualitative study
Individuals experiencing suicidality at work may face complex disclosure decisions, involving assessing the risks versus benefits of disclosure or non-disclosure. This study aimed to identify barriers and enablers to disclosing suicidality in workplaces and to explore the responses, support, and accommodation needs for workers experiencing suicidality. We conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 30 working adults who report…

Attributable risk of suicide for populations in Australia
Considerable reductions in the overall suicide rate in Australia may occur if risk factors are addressed in identified populations with large PAF estimates. These estimates should be considered as an adjunct to other important inputs into suicide prevention policy priorities
Key informant perspectives of suicide prevention in Australia
Key informants from across the suicide prevention sector in Australia identified a range of issues for consideration in the development of Australia's new National Suicide Prevention Strategy which are also relevant for suicide prevention policy and program development in other high-income countries. Key issues include the need for concerted efforts to define and build the capacity of the suicide prevention sector, implement and monitor a whole-o…
Government funded suicide prevention in Australia – an environmental scan
Current government emphasis on and investment in suicide prevention activity, together with strong commitment to lived experience and cross sectorial collaboration, are substantial and appropriate. There are also many opportunities to further progress cross-portfolio and cross-jurisdiction suicide prevention and response efforts. This requires urgently adopting a shared understanding of suicide, which includes the diverse drivers of suicidal dist…
Supporting Adolescents Bereaved by Suicide or Other Traumatic Death
Adolescents bereaved by suicide and other traumatic death may experience strong grief reactions and increased risks of mental health problems and suicidal behaviour. As timely access to professional help can be critical, it is essential to understand how counselors perceive suicide bereavement in adolescents and how they work with this population. This study aimed to examine the perspectives of counselors ( N = 34). Eleven participated in an indi…
Anticipated Self and Public Stigma in Suicide Prevention Professionals
It is important to intentionally support the mental health of suicide prevention professionals, as they are not immune to mental illness or various types of stigma. Because our sample was small and diverse, further research to better understand stigma concepts in this population is warranted
Suicide and Attempted Suicide in Poland before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic between 2019 and 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic is related to changes in rates of suicide and suicide attempts in many countries, and some differences have been observed regarding the prevalence of suicidal behaviours in different age and gender groups. The aim of this study is to analyse the number of suicides and suicide attempts per 100,000 people between 2019 and 2021 in Poland. Using police and government data on suicide and suicide attempts in Poland, three age cate…
Work-Related Suicide Exposure, Occupational Burnout, and Coping in Emergency Medical Services Personnel in Poland
Work-related suicide exposure may significantly contribute to the risk of burnout in first responders. This study assessed the exposure to suicide, burnout, and coping mechanisms in emergency medical services in Poland, including psychosocial determinants, such as age, gender, and access to psychological support. The level of burnout was assessed using the Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ), and coping was measured using the Coping Inventory for St…
Long-Term Use and Application of Systematic Tailored Assessment for Responding to Suicidality (STARS) Protocol Following Original Training

Suicidology Post Graduate Curriculum
The survey provided invaluable feedback regarding the priorities of Australia's suicide prevention sector for content domains and delivery mechanisms for tertiary suicidology education. The findings showed the preferred type of organizational (employer) support that may be provided for employees to undertake such education. These findings will inform the future developments of Griffith University's suicidology programs and may motivate other univ…
Working with Young People at Risk of Suicidal Behaviour and Self-Harm
General Practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in the identification and support of young people at risk of suicidal behaviour and self-harm; however, no studies have explored GPs' perspectives, approaches, challenges, and resource needs when working with this cohort in an Australian setting. This was a qualitative study where fifteen GPs ( M age = 45.25 years) from multiple clinics in Western Australia took part in semi-structured interviews, a…
Finding a safe space”
Experiencing a death by suicide is a devastating event in the lives of adolescents; however, little is known about what makes help helpful according to their experiences. Thematic analysis of individual and group interview data ( N = 18) yielded four themes: feeling connected with, and understood by a helper, having a sense of control over, and access to the help as needed. Findings indicate that help should be based on supportive and educational…
Parents’ Experience and Psychoeducation Needs When Supporting a Young Person Who Self-Harms
The study highlights the need for support for parents and carers of young people who engage in self-harm, including development and adaptation of resources, such as the "Coping with Self-Harm" booklet, of which an Australian version has now been developed
It Changes Your Orbit”
The study revealed the devastating impact of the deaths on adolescents, their relationships with peers and the family system. Adolescents' grief must be understood within the context of their agency and their immediate social environment.

Dealing with Ethical Concerns in Suicide Research
Given the increasing trend in suicide mortality and its burden on individuals, families and communities, ethically sound research is crucial to improve the prevention of suicidal behaviour. However, few studies have looked at the experiences of researchers in obtaining ethics approval for their studies. This study addressed this gap by investigating researchers' experiences in obtaining ethics approval and how they dealt with the concerns raised …
Ethical Concerns in Suicide Research

However, little is known of researchers' experiences in obtaining ethics approval for suicide-related studies. This study aimed to investigate what concerns researchers have received on suicide-related ethics applications and how they dealt with it. Thirty-four respondents, recruited through the International Association for Suicide Prevention, …
Research Priorities in Suicide Prevention
Suicide is a major public health concern in Australia and globally, requiring targeted research efforts to build the evidence base for its effective prevention. We examined current and future priorities in Australian suicide prevention research during the period 2010−2017, and compared these to 1999−2006 baseline data. We classified current research priorities in terms of the type of research published in 424 journal articles and 36 grants and fe…
Suicide on the Railways in Belgium
Suicide on railway networks comprises a serious public health problem. However, the geographical distribution and the environmental risk factors remain unclear. This study analyzed the geographic distribution of railway suicides in Belgium from 2008−2013 at the level of a railway section (average length of 3.5 km). Principal component analysis (PCA) identified three groups of correlations that helped explain the variance of railway suicide. The t…
Does Religion/Spirituality Modify the Association of Stressful Life Events and Suicidal Ideation in Australian Men
In a large population cohort of Australian men, we previously observed that stressful life events were associated with increased suicidal ideation (SI). Many stressful life events, such as relationship breakdown and financial difficulties, occur frequently, yet most men who experience them do not have suicidal thoughts. There is some evidence that religious belief may be protective against suicidal behaviour. This study examined if attendance of …
Measuring Religious Attitudes in Secularized Western European Context
Wulff's two-dimensional model of approaches to religion was an inspiration for the development of the Post-Critical Belief Scale (PCBS), an instrument measuring religious attitudes, that is, “paradigms of religious belief structure” in a secularized Western European context. The scale has been frequently used in psychological studies, has undergone psychometric analyses and modifications, and has been translated into several languages. The curren…
I was holding on to my ancestral merit’
The Hasidic movement was founded in the eighteenth century in Eastern Europe. During the Holocaust, the Hasidic Jews, like other Jews in Europe, were exposed to ruthless extermination and abuse by the Nazis. This essay presents a psychological analysis, based on the religious coping framework, of The Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust by Yaffa Eliach. The tales show that in the situation of extreme trauma, deprivation and absence of other methods of …

Suicide in the Lodz Ghetto During World War Two
Data on suicidal behavior among the Jews confined by the Nazis in the Lodz Ghetto in 1941 and 1942 are reported. The suicide rate was extremely high, increasing from 21.6 per 100,000 per year in 1941 to 84.6 in 1942. The epidemiology of suicide in the Lodz Ghetto is described, including a spring peak and sex differences in methods used for suicide
The Regional Variation of Murder and Suicide in Poland
A study of the 16 Polish counties in 1998 indicated that unemployment, divorce rates, and between-county migration were strong correlates of the county murder and suicide rates. In addition, murder rates were predicted by domestic integration (marriage and birth rates)
Gloomy Sunday
The effect of art on suicide risk has been a neglected topic in suicidology. The present article focuses on what is probably the best known song concerning suicide, Gloomy Sunday, the "Hungarian suicide song." An analysis of historical sources suggests that the song was believed to trigger suicides. It was, for example, banned by the BBC in England until 2002. The alleged increase in suicides in the 1930s associated with the playing of the song m…
Dysthanasia versus Euthanasia
The concept of dysthanasia is contrasted with euthanasia, and the suggestion is advanced that it may not be merely the dictionary opposite of euthanasia

Online Memorialization and Grief After Suicide
Although several studies have looked at the phenomenon of online memorialization, online involvement of those bereaved by suicide (suicide survivors) remains an under-studied area. The current study analyzed 250 memorials dedicated to those who died by suicide on two memorialization Web sites: Faces of Suicide and Gone too Soon. The majority of the memorials was posted by family members of the deceased and had a format of a letter or an obituary.…
Resilience or hope? Incremental and convergent validity of the resilience scale for adults (RSA) and the Herth hope scale (HHS) in the prediction of anxiety and depression
