<span>The Critical Suicide Studies Network presents an approach to understanding, theorising and intervening in suicide from alternative perspectives. Such perspectives have sought to find renewed, more critical ways of thinking about suicide to address
and respond to suicide where traditional approaches have failed.</span></p>

<span>Such a beginning could not be more timely.<span> </span>
Many working within suicidology have become frustrated by the limitations of dominant pathologising and medicalised approaches to suicide research and prevention practices. Believing that suicide research is in need of an ongoing critical re-thinking of its
subject matter and a broadening of it disciplinary basis, Critical Suicide Studies investigates the social, philosophic, psychological, literary and cultural practices of making sense of suicide, taking into account how suicide is shaped by history, politics,
identity, culture, media and power.<span> </span>As an approach, it works with service providers, communities and publics to develop nuanced but useful accounts of suicide that can help build bridges across theory and practice and affected communities.

approaches with service providers, advocates, policy-makers and everyday people affected by suicide.<span>
