Why are you doing this research?

We want to better understand the experiences and needs of people who provide and receive support to prevent and respond to suicide and self harm in youth organisations. We are looking for ways to improve the support that is currently available and reduce any inequalities in giving and receiving support.

How can I take part?

If you are aged 14 – 21, or you are a parent of a young person aged 14 – 21 who may be interested in taking part, complete the expression of interest form here.

If you are an adult who works with young people, complete the expression of interest form here.

How can I support the study?

If you cannot take part in the study but would still like to support us, please help us by sharing our recruitment material in your networks. You can download PDF and image files of our recruitment flyers from the website page here.
