he relationship between suicide and self-harm is complex. Many people who die by suicide will have a history of self-harm, but most people who self-harm will not go on to die by suicide. As such, self-harm is a clear risk factor for suicide, but it is also a phenomenon that we need to understand and address in its own right. On that basis, while we believe that many of the activities we will engage in to reduce suicide will have benefits for those who self-harm, the focus of this document is on prevention of suicide.
