A guide for both professionals and non professionals

It is perfectly natural that people freeze, ignore or panic when faced with a possible suicide situation. This guide is designed to empower carers or clinicians who need to intervene and take those first important steps that can help a person take a step back from self harm.

It is written in basically non clinical langauge to improve accessibility by non professionals such as parents, friends and teachers.

The format is in straight forward information and in easy to follow "actions to take" flow charts

It is based on sound research and practice but is not intended to be a complete treatment plan – but an aid for taking some initial steps in helping persons who are threatening potential self harm.

In all cases professional health carers should be consulted, and if serious risk is involved, non professionals must inform family, a clinic or police.
