Welcome
to the
University of Oxford
Centre for Suicide Research
website
The Centre is based in the University of Oxford Department
of Psychiatry. Professor Keith Hawton is its
Director. The overall research programme of the Centre is
focused on investigation of the causes, treatment and prevention of suicidal
behaviour.
We do not provide a treatment service or advice for those in crisis.
If you are in crisis or feeling suicidal we urge you to seek help from
your general practitioner, through a telephone helpline service such as
Samaritans (UK telephone number
08457 90 90 90), or by discussing your problems with a friend or colleague.
Befrienders Worldwide offers
a comprehensive directory of crisis helplines worldwide.
We are also not able to discuss individual cases. Sources of help for
people bereaved by suicide can be found on our links
page.
