@ -26,5 +26,5 @@ When discussing suicide and suicidal ideation:
- Avoid mentioning details of methods used and suggesting that these are "easy" or "painless" to reduce the risk of imitation.
- Avoid suggesting that suicide is an "easy way out".
- Avoid speculation over possible triggers: Suicide and suicidal ideation is complex and not necessarily the result of a single event or condition. Attempting to explain away suicide with a specific cause or condition downplays the wider circumstances and the impact on all those affected.
- Rather than saying that a person "committed suicide", instead say that a person "died by suicide". This frames suicide as a symptom of wider conditions and the individual as a victim rather than a perpetrator.
- Instead of saying that a person "committed suicide", say that a person "died by suicide." Framing suicide as a symptom of wider/unknown-to-us conditions validates the individual as a victim, rather than a perpetrator.
- Discussing or reporting on suicide can be an opportunity to signpost the support available and educate people about the importance of mental wellbeing.
