Preventing suicide – What precedes us will propel us.

As the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) Early Career Group (ECG) looks forward to its second birthday, in this editorial we highlight some of the major advances that form the foundations upon which we are building our own lines of research as early career researchers; key shifts in policy and attitudes toward suicide, and changes in theoretical and methodological approaches to suicide research and prevention. We then go on to discuss some key emerging areas that are already reshaping the way we research and prevent suicide, including new technologies and developments in treatments and interventions. This is certainly not an exhaustive list of the many achievements that have been made, but highlights some notable accomplishments and challenges, past and present.
