dc.description	Suicide Prevention in the Community: A Practical Guide was originally published in 2011. This updated version is designed to guide both established suicide prevention groups and those that are thinking about setting up. The focus is on providing core foundational knowledge for people interested in suicide prevention by sharing good practice, learning from experience about what works well, and making sure that a “do no harm” approach is taken. The information provided is based on current best practice, which continues to grow and develop throughout the world. While the messages contained in this book are for the general community, ways in which to support specific priority groups are also explored. The various settings in which people engage, for example, schools, workplaces and sports clubs are outlined, with a strong emphasis placed on the importance of organisations and groups working together. Real case study examples of activities, initiatives and services being carried out across the country are provided. Suicide has many causes and a number of strategies are needed at national, community and individual level to help prevent it. This book recognises this, while also acknowledging the huge goodwill and strong volunteering spirit that exists throughout Ireland in communities. It aims to highlight the good work being done by many dedicated people, to share and build on this learning for the future, and to promote a strong message of hope.	en_US
