Suicide is a growing problem across Asia. As its societies have become more affluent, rates of suicide have increased markedly presenting communities and governments with a complex problem to manage.

Professor Paul Yip (Director of the Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, The University of Hong Kong) presents a discussion of how experiences with Hong Kong's public health approach to suicide prevention have coped with this problem.

Introduced by Professor Nick Bisley. A La Trobe Asia seminar.
