TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Expanding and democratizing the agenda for preventing youth suicide: Youth participation, cultural responsiveness, and social transformation JO - Canadian journal of community mental health A1 - White, J. SP - 95 EP - 107 VL - 33 IS - 1 N2 - Suicidal behaviours in young people are among the most challenging issues faced by educators, policy makers, and practitioners. A small number of youth suicide prevention programs have been identified as promising. At the same time, many contemporary approaches to youth suicide prevention take insufficient account of the social or cultural context and privilege the expertise of adults and researchers. In large part, this is a consequence of how scientific knowledge is constructed. By engaging young people as knowledgeable collaborators and by paying attention to broader socio-political and cultural contexts in understanding sources of suffering, a more flexible and enriched approach to youth suicide prevention research and practice is envisioned.
