ZonMW Consortium Grant for suicide prevention research
Diana van Bergen and her colleagues have recently received a ZonMW Consortium Grant of nearly 900,000 euros for a new suicide prevention project. The consortium, led by the University of Groningen, focuses on suicide prevention in the Netherlands with a particular emphasis on socially vulnerable youth and middle-aged men, two groups at increased risk.
The consortium includes more than 20 organizations, including seven universities, two academic hospitals, three universities of applied sciences, public health services, and leading research institutions such as Nivel, Trimbos, and Verwey-Jonker. Experts with lived experience also play a crucial role in the project.
Within the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences at the University of Groningen, the departments of Pedagogy, Developmental Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Social Psychology are involved in the project.
The team is very enthusiastic about the launch of the research project and hopes to make a significant contribution to preventing suicide in the Netherlands.
If you are thinking about suicide or are worried about someone, talking about it helps and can be done anonymously via the chat at www.113.nl or by phone at 113 or 0800-0113.
