About the suicide response project
The SRP was created by researchers, academics, and psychologists together with autistic and LGBTIQA+ people who have lived through suicidal thoughts, their families, and those who have supported or lost someone to suicide.
The SRP is here to guide you. Through its 8 Step Response, you’ll find clear, research-based information and simple, practical tips you can follow step by step. Each stage is designed to build your confidence and equip you to support the people in your life who may be struggling.
