If you have a question about this talk, please contact Simon Braschi .

Autistic adults have a three to five-fold elevated risk of premature death by suicide compared to the general population; in the United Kingdom Autistic people are now identified as a priority population for suicide prevention policy and practice. However, health and mental health professionals can lack confidence, training and resources to effectively support Autistic adults at risk of suicide. Our research program has involved collaboration with Autistic people to identify gaps in mental healthcare supports, develop lived experience led training for professionals, and co-develop adapted suicide screening and assessment measures. My talk will provide a broad overview of our research to date leading to the development of a new autism suicide prevention resource hub for healthcare professionals, which has included research collaboration with leading experts in the UK. Our goal is that this resource will provide health and mental health professionals with the skills and resources to enable them to better identify and support Autistic people with mental health concerns as well as risk of suicide.
