A lived experience of suicide can range from suicidal thoughts and behaviours, surviving a suicide attempt, caring for someone through crisis, or being bereaved by suicide. People with lived experience are uniquely placed to inform how we can better identify people before they reach a crisis point, support people through a crisis, and support those grieving and/or bereaved.. The insights of people with lived experience can both help to inform best practice in service delivery and lead someone to use their own story to help others.
This area of learning includes engaging co-design in all suicide prevention activities.
