This study examined the main models of suicide prevention intervention being used internationally and located which models are being used within Irish policy. The research explored and identified which of the models is used by the Breaking The Silence and how this fits in with the community context by reviewing models of community work practice. The literature review found that the Irish suicide prevention policy was in line with the models of suicide prevention that are being used internationally.
