Abstract

Youth suicide has been recognized as a significant public health issue in Australia and internationally. Epidemiological evidence provides the imperative that strategies to deal with suicidal behaviour must be placed clearly in the context of appropriate assessment and management of mental health problems. Clinical management of suicidal children and young people is difficult. Staff reactions to young people who have attempted suicide may interfere with appropriate care. Those involved in dealing with these issues are encouraged to share their load with colleagues and to complement their clinical work with involvement in public health strategies.
