Work Packages

The Discovering Liveability project is made up of four individual work packages that will each run research activities over seven years: 2024-2031.

Each work package has a different focus:

  1. Lived experience
  2. Community and peer support
  3. Activism and liveable lives
  4. Policy and politics

You can read about the activities and research questions for each of these work packages via the links below.

Work packages

Work Package 1

Centering lived and living experience of suicide.

This work package forms the heart of the project and will establish a core group of researchers who have diverse lived/living experiences of suicidality or suicide bereavement.

Work Package 2

The role of community-based and peer-led services in creating and sustaining liveable lives.

This work package responds to the limited impact and reach of clinically focused interventions for suicide.

Work Package 3

Disrupting suicide? The role of activism in creating liveable lives.

This work package will address individual and collective activism, as well as public campaigns led by established groups that seek to ‘make change’ relating to suicidality and ‘liveability’.

Work Package 4

Liveable and unliveable lives: Suicide and the state.

This work package centres the roles of politics and the state in shaping conditions for – and responses to – liveability.
