[Non-profit networks for suicide prevention].

Survival groups and suicide clusters constitute new challenges for suicide prevention. Emergency ward and intensive care personnel and psychologists working in close co-operation with general practitioners are strategically important in such preventive endeavours. Scientists and health care personnel need to develop joint strategies for the purpose. Politicians and administrators are important target groups for information on suicide prevention. The foregoing are important findings in the first year's experience of the West Swedish Network for Suicide Prevention.
