Abstract: Suicide prevention and self-harming behaviour remain parlous concerns within the Australian and broader international contexts. They are also complex phenomena. Such complexity eludes simple explanation and indeed simple solutions. On this basis, interventions (at all levels of society) are conceived in interconnected and strategic ways.

This paper seeks to discuss key issues – also incorporating a review of contemporary American practice.
