| Abstract | Background/Objectives: A need for suicide prevention and postvention strategies in Higher Education was identified in the United Kingdom and has more recently been addressed with policies that provide national guidance for organisations. However, a paucity of qualitative research related to the lived and living experiences of attempted suicide in young adults remains. The experts in attempted suicide are those who have experienced it and the objective of our study was to learn from these lived experiences, with a particular focus on 16–25-year-olds in Further and Higher Education. Methods: The research presented in this article was part of a nationwide study in the UK which included 21 semi-structured interviews with young adults who met these criteria on the impact of attempting suicide on a personal, interpersonal, and institutional level, and support service experiences and engagement. It aimed to answer two key questions: 1. What can we learn from the lived experiences of young adults who have attempted suicide? and 2. How can these findings be applied to better meet the needs of young adults experiencing suicidal thoughts/behaviour in Further and Higher Education? Results: Reflexive Thematic Analysis was used to analyse the data, and four main themes were identified: firstly, the impact on ‘self’, including emotional and psychological impact; secondly, ‘others’, revealing the impact of and on relational factors, stigma, and judgement; thirdly, ‘systemic’, which highlighted support service experiences and barriers to accessing and engaging with possible support, and, fourthly, ‘what helps or could help’ on a relational, educational, and institutional level. Conclusions: The findings from this study generate new insights into this under-explored and stigmatised area and point to key barriers to support and gaps in service provision. Attempting suicide is one of the highest risk factors for a death by suicide and this study highlights the need for additional policy and support guidance for attempted suicide in Further and Higher Education. |
