Abstract
In response to the recent high rate of suicide deaths among Indigenous young people and children, and the Western Australian Coroner’s report of the Inquest into the 13 Deaths of Children and Young Persons in the Kimberley Region, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Advisory Group (ATSIMHSPAG) and Centre of Best Practice in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention (CBPASTSISP) supported by the Commonwealth Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) hosted an Empowerment and Accountability in Indigenous Youth Suicide Prevention workshop on the 30th April 2019 in Canberra. The workshop enabled participants to hear directly from Elders and Indigenous youth leaders in suicide prevention, Indigenous young people with lived experience of suicide, and mental health consumers about their concerns and ideas for reducing Indigenous youth suicide.
