Research in context: Psychosocial interventions for self-harm and suicide prevention in liaison psychiatry, a lived experience perspective

This lived experience commentary is a companion article to a recent umbrella review on psychosocial interventions for self-harm and suicide prevention in liaison psychiatry settings. It highlights patient-informed insights into emergency and ward-based care, critiquing current clinical practices, and proposes systemic, relational, and environmental improvements to enhance assessment quality and engagement, and real-world implementation of evidence-based care. Good practice, gaps in the extant evidence-base and lived-experience informed recommendations for future research are also discussed.
