Description
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Evaluation Project (ATSISPEP) is an important Australian Government response to the above. This report summarises the work of ATSISPEP in expanding the evidence-base for what works in Indigenous community-led suicide prevention and is based on:
- Twelve Indigenous community, risk group and subject-matter-specific suicide prevention Roundtable Consultations that took place across Australia over March 2015 – April 2016
- A literature review on what works in community-led Indigenous suicide prevention
- An analysis of 69 previous consultations on Indigenous suicide prevention that took place across Australia between the years 2009 and 2015, and that involved 1,823 participants
- An analysis of other credible and relevant sources, including the Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS) Operational Guidelines for Indigenous Suicide Prevention Services, and state and territory general population suicide prevention strategies
- Key themes and recommendations from the inaugural National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Conference held in Alice Springs on 5–6 May 2016.
