Overview

The Suicidology programme from Griffith University will allow students to explore the historical and sociological development of the complexities of suicide, and contemporary research and methodological complexities, trends, epidemiological and scientific research processes associated with suicide and its prevention.

Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to compare different intervention and support responses and identify the advantages and disadvantages of theoretical approaches to the major clinical responses to suicidal behaviour when accompanied by mental health conditions, as well as the cultural, legal and ethical influences around suicide prevention. Finally, students will have the opportunity to undertake learning around integrated care elements, or community and leadership process of suicide prevention as the two offered majors to complete their programme of learning.

This programme does not aim to educate and train students to be clinicians (in the assessment and treatment of suicidal behaviour) but emphasises the importance of scientific and research-based enquiry and investigation at all levels of suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
