The Suicide Prevention in Country SA (SPICSA) initiative was funded by the South Australian Social Inclusion Initiative in response to concerns about the higher rates of self-harm and suicidal behaviour in regional areas across the State, particularly for young people and Aboriginal people.
A variety of strategies and resources were provided to facilitate coherence across the State, while ensuring local areas had flexibility to design initiatives that responded to their needs and directions. These strategies mirrored good practice elements for working in Aboriginal contexts.
Successful community-driven activities were implemented in local areas that focused strongly on a health promotion approach, not just a prevention approach, and that engaged Aboriginal people effectively in the process. This resulted in learning and confirmation about suicide prevention work in Aboriginal contexts, including the value of community partners.
南澳大利亚州自杀预防倡议（SPICSA）由南澳大利亚社会包容倡议资助，以应对该州各地区，特别是年轻人和原住民中自残和自杀行为发生率较高的问题。
提供了各种策略和资源，以促进全州的协调一致，同时确保当地有灵活性来设计符合其需求和方向的倡议。这些策略反映了在原住民环境中开展工作的良好实践要素。
在当地开展了成功的社区驱动活动，这些活动强烈侧重于健康促进方法，而不仅仅是预防方法，并有效地让原住民参与到这一过程中。这带来了关于原住民环境中自杀预防工作的经验教训和确认，包括社区伙伴的价值。
