In this episode of Psych Matters Dr Andrew Amos and his guests Dr Kathryn Turner and Dr Jessica Henry discuss how health services can approach suicide prevention, and support of health staff who care for people at risk of suicide.

No individual cases are mentioned, but some listeners may find the topic confronting.

If you are worried about your own or others' wellbeing you can find crisis contacts on the RANZCP'S "Your Health in Mind" website.
