I think suicide prevention programs are well intentioned, but a lot of them do seem to be just lip service of well-intentioned people who don’t really know what they’re doing, or alternatively, are trying there best, but are the ambulance at the bottom of a cliff. Why do people get suicidal in the first place? Is it issues of domestic abuse/family abuse, or trauma? Is it issues of poverty, low income, job insecurity? Is it issues of mood disorders? And if it is mood disorders, are there other social issues (like some of the ones I mentioned above) that precede the mood disorder? Because really, to prevent suicide, you’d have to address the root cause of what drives people to commit suicide. I think there are a lot of social issues that lead people to commit suicide and to prevent suicide, people would actually have to start addressing the issues, instead of addressing the symptoms of the issue.
