ABSTRACT

This paper summarises key findings from the six community regional Roundtables that were undertaken as part of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Evaluation Project.

Common themes emerging included the need for self-determination and local leadership, the need to consider the social determinants of health, the need to address trauma, the role and impact of incarceration and justice issues and the need for culture and identity to be strengthened. Keywords: Indigenous suicide, community perspectives, critical psychology, empowerment, self-determination, social determinants, Indigenous health and social and emotional wellbeing, suicide prevention.
