Plenary Session from National Suicide Prevention Conference. The part that economic and employment performance in a country/community plays for suicide prevention: What does this mean for Australia as it enters a period of economic adjustment? Speakers at this plenary session, including West Australian of the Year, Mr David Flanagan, Dr Michael Porter, Professor Ngiare Brown and Chair Professor Jane Pirkis, focus on the role Australia’s economic and employment performance plays in suicide prevention as we enter a period of economic adjustment.
