The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently launched the fourth version of “Preventing Suicide: A Resource for Media Professionals”.
Developed through ongoing collaboration between WHO and the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP), this resource is a significant tool towards promoting responsible media reporting on suicide.
It highlights the crucial role played by the media in suicide prevention and encourages sensitive, informed, and ethical reporting on this critical issue.
The resource can be accessed by following the link above and taking particular consideration to the useful infographics on pages 9 and 34 (screenshots below).
