About this event

Safety planning is an internationally recognised indicated suicide prevention strategy, involving the co-creation of a personalised list of strategies for those who experience onset or worsening suicidal ideation and/or behaviour to use during a suicidal crisis. The 13th Shared Learning in Clinical Practice Symposium will discuss and examine safety planning technique. Specifically, we will examine the origins and conceptual basis of safety planning alongside current practices and applications.

Speakers at today’s symposium will also showcase their use of safety planning alongside the beliefs of why they work the way they do. Participants attending the symposium will also hear contributions from people with lived experience of using safety plans.

UniSA Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

Established in partnership with government and non-government sectors and led by Professor Nicholas Procter, the University of South Australia's Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Research and Education Group is leading numerous initiatives aimed at improving the lives of people in mental distress and at risk of suicide. The strategic purpose of the group is to demonstrate through research and practical example how much people with lived experience and their carers, clinicians, policy makers and academic faculty can achieve working together in partnership.

The group’s work is inspired by the real world problems of people living with mental distress, the needs of their carers, and the next generation of health professionals willing and able to support recovery with dignity. The Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Research and Education Group has a national and international reputation for undertaking deep scholarship in mental health, leading to deep connectivity and diffusion of the insights through publication, public policy and clinical practice as key outcomes.
