According to the WHO in 2024, more than 720,000 people die due to suicide every year. With practical, evidence-based interventions, suicides can be prevented.

Written by international experts in the field, this book provides global strategies applicable in both High Income and Low/Middle Income country settings. Chapters cover topics such as decriminalisation, the role of intention, the reasons for the excess of male deaths by suicide in High Income countries, and the relationship between suicide and violence. The book emphasises practicality and accessibility, making it an authoritative guide for practitioners and policy makers around the world. This succinct and evidence-based resource is essential reading for those seeking to develop and implement global suicide prevention strategies.

- Global in its outlook and evidence base, this is relevant to both High Income and Low and Middle Income countries, while avoiding simplistic lists of what is happening in different countries
- Fresh perspectives are giving by tackling new ideas, such as the relationship between violence and suicide, why a gross excess of men die by suicide in high income countries, and querying the importance of ascertaining intention
