Providing Meaningful Care Report Launched

Thursday 1st December 2011 saw the launch of a report titled: “Providing Meaningful Care - Using the Experiences of Young Suicidal Men to Inform Mental Health Care Services”.  This research was undertaken in the Belfast and the Southern Health and Social Care Trust areas by a research team from Queen's University Belfast and the University of Ulster.  The aim of this study was to obtain a comprehensive understanding of suicidal behaviour amongst men aged 16-34 years, in order to underpin the provision of accessible, acceptable and appropriate mental health services.  The report is now available online at: www.publichealth.hscni.net/sites/default/files/ProvidingMeaningfulCareSHORT_REPORT.pdf
