This book provides an unprecedented insight into the approach used by the innovative Suicide Crisis charity, a crisis center that has achieved a zero suicide rate amongst its clients. The idea for the service grew out of the author's own lived experience of a suicidal crisis and her inability to find the right kind of help. This experience provides an understanding and awareness of what suicidal clients go through and the kind of help they require. The success rate of the charity proves that the techniques used are effective.

Covering relationship-building, providing intensive support, achieving a balance between protecting clients and giving them control, engaging high-risk men least likely to seek help, assessing risk accurately, and more, this groundbreaking approach provides what is needed to save the lives of people in suicidal crisis.

The author's personal journey and the success of the Suicide Crisis charity shed light on the importance of providing comprehensive and effective support to those in need. This book is a valuable resource for anyone working in the field of mental health, as well as for individuals who are experiencing a suicidal crisis or know someone who is.
