Professor Karen Slade's Inaugural Lecture
Unlocking Hope: Embracing Innovation to Address Suicide Prevention and Other Harms in the Criminal Justice System.
Globally, the prevalence of suicide and self-inflicted harm remains significant within prisons and amongst people in contact with the criminal justice system – how can we embrace innovation and forward-thinking approaches to address the complex challenges of suicide prevention across forensic environments? What have we learnt about those people who self-harm whilst also posing a serious risk of violence towards others? Can effective change be achieved, and what are the essential elements for facilitating such change?
