Suicide Incidence: Statements.
Reports show that the vulnerable age group is men aged between 20 and 29 years. I am aware that the Minister of State has put suicide prevention strategies in place which represent a balance between general population strategies in the form of education and health promotion and intervention targeting high risk groups. We have seen the various publications, such as Concerned about Suicide, Internet resources, audio-visual training packs, contact details of support groups and funding for areas of mental health promotion, crisis intervention, bereavement support and research.
