Title: The Critical Window of Care: Reflections from Previously Suicidal Students That Shape Our Practice

Matt is finishing his doctoral research on youth suicide prevention at Queen’s University. His work centres around understanding youths’ perceived inaccessibility of others’ care during suicidal episodes, and, more importantly, how we might spark hope during youths’ darkest moments. Interviews, artifacts, and listening booth sessions with 20 youth from around the world reveal powerful glimpses into the profound loneliness of suicide, as well as how belongingness hold a promising key to future prevention efforts
