TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Mobilizing the community to prevent older adult suicide JO - Illness, crisis and loss A1 - Fullen, M.C. SP - 155 EP - 169 VL - 24 IS - 3 N2 - Older adults are at an elevated risk for suicide. A comprehensive framework for preventing older adult suicide should include knowledge about risk factors, a theoretical basis that explains the high prevalence of older adult suicide, and a transdisciplinary prevention strategy that shares responsibility for suicide prevention among professional and lay members of the community. The author introduces a community-based suicide prevention strategy that employs health and mental health professionals, aging sector professionals, caregivers, and older adults to recognize and respond to older adults who may be in distress. © The Author(s) 2015.
