Suicide prevention framework will save lives New clinical guidance will offer best practices for recognizing and supporting people at risk for suicide, helping more people get the right care and saving more lives.

"When someone is struggling with thoughts of suicide, asking compassionate questions and truly listening can make all the difference,” said Jonny Morris, CEO, CMHA BC. “This framework helps health-care teams have these vital conversations, understand each person's unique story, and support informed decisions about care. We're deeply grateful to the Province of B.C., our partners, and especially the courageous and wise individuals whose lived experiences shaped this important work."

“Every life lost to suicide is a profound tragedy,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Health.

“This new framework represents a critical step in ensuring that individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts can access the support they need to move toward hope and healing. It sets a clear path for how we will care for and supBuilding on best practices in Canadian and port those most at risk.” international jurisdictions, the framework In partnership with the Province, the Cana- was created with input from people with lived dian Mental Health Association, BC Divi- and living experience with mental-health crision (CMHA BC) led the development of a ses.

“When someone is experiencing thoughts of suicide, it is especially important that they get timely supports for as long as they need.

This framework will support our health-care facilities in offering best practice guidance so clinicians can help more people with the right care.”

“The release of the suicide-risk reduction framework is an important step for British Columbia, and I want to thank our partners for their collaboration,” said Lesley Lutes, professor, director of the Centre for Obesity and Well-Being Research Excellence, department of psychology, UBC Okanagan; and director of advocacy, BC Psychological Association. “When we treat mental health with the same level of rigour and evidence-based Through an early, consistent, and systematic interventions as we do with physical health, process, the framework offers guidance to we save lives.” enhance the detection of individuals at risk for This work is part of the Province’s efforts suicide.

Any hectic activity that has just started to You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.

Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.

Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you.

Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.

You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to April next year and for this reason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.

Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.

Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.

You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.

You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.

Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging.

Be mindful of the obligations you take on.

You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.

Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.

Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.
