'In their own words' research project
When someone makes an attempt on their own life, the most accurate explanation as to 'why' will always come from the person who experienced it. If you are aged 16-25 and have had a suicide attempt in the past two years, it is you who has the real insight into how we can accurately define your suicide attempt. We believe you are the expert and we want to invite to hear what you have to say. This research study will allow you the opportunity to tell your own story… in your own words.
