The primary objective of this project is to co-create suicide prevention tools for men with suicidal thoughts ensuring these tools are supported by their future users. The researchers will organize up to 10 online or live co-creation meetings of maximum 2 hours each in which men (18 years or older) with a history of suicidal thoughts and/or behavior will help develop tools by providing their needs and feedback. Up to 30 men can participate.
