An updated edition of a classic text - the essential guide to the understanding and prevention of suicide in young people.

'[The Long Sleep] has incredible breadth and depth which offers real insights into the minds of those who are suicidal, together with practical guidance on supporting young people and challenging the myths around suicide' Professor Rory O'Connor, Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory, University of Glasgow, author of When It Is Darkest

Worldwide, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people, and numbers continue to increase. Many young people have experienced suicidal thoughts, self-harmed or attempted suicide. What makes someone particularly vulnerable? Why do proportionally more young men than women resort to suicide? What can be done to support people and prevent young deaths?

The Long Sleep explores the origins, symptoms and meanings of young peoples' suicidal crises and argues the need for sensitive responses and improved understanding if current rates are to be curbed. Combining moving accounts from relatives and young people who have attempted suicide with the evidence of extensive research into the subject, Kate Hill offers important and timely insights into an area fraught with fear and denial.

This classic self-help book has been fully revised and considers:
? Current perspectives around mental and physical healthcare development
? Social, environmental and personal factors that may be triggers
? How to listen to and support young people at risk
? Where and when to seek professional help and support
