A Pilot Qualitative Study to Better Understand the Factors Related to Suicides and Inform Public Health Action Across a Predominantly Coastal and Rural Area: Cornwall, Southwest of England
There is a need to identify those at risk and with deteriorating mental health. All age trauma-informed approaches are needed to prevent individuals from reaching crisis along with more equitable services and community support due to the complex nature of suicide. This requires consideration of digital access/exclusion, training, continuity of care and enhanced care of those with additional needs and multiple vulnerabilities.
