SPA Position Statements
Suicide Prevention Australia (SPA) occasionally publishes position statements on priority areas of suicide and self-harm prevention and postvention in Australia.
These position statements are devised as foundation documents to provide a basis for understanding, discussion, teaching, delivery and research. Position statements support SPA’s ongoing advocacy work and activities.
SPA position statements are developed in close consultation with community and specialist reference groups and are ratified by the SPA Board. They are reviewed annually with the intention of being reaffirmed, revised or retired (in which case, they are subsequently removed from the SPA website).
In clearly articulating SPA’s position on priority areas of suicide prevention and postvention, the position statements propose specific recommendations for both action and change and ‘best practice’ strategy development and implementation (the adoption of which SPA continually monitors through its own advocacy activities and networks).
Reproduction of content from any of SPA’s position statements, in part or whole, is not permitted without first seeking authorisation from SPA.
