The internet, smartphones, computer self-help programmes and other technological advances are the new frontiers of suicide prevention, with organisations around the world rapidly expanding these services. "Suicide Prevention and New Technologies" responds to an increasing need by organisations, planners, researchers and individuals working in suicide prevention and mental health to better understand how they can and should become involved in suicide prevention using these new technologies. Each chapter is written by experts in the field and presents the current state of the art in the light of research findings and discuss current and future challenges.
