While past suicide attempts are a statistically significant predictor of recurrent suicidality, a history of attempts is not alone a cause of suicidality or a complete explanation for how suicide is progressing in a person. The underlying, complex factors that lead to the original attempt in the first place are still key factors that need focused attention and care. And yet, acknowledging both treated and untreated suicide attempts and suicidality and holding in mind people's histories with suicidality can support communities in applying that focused attention and care. What helps you hold in mind individual and community histories with suicide?
