The 30 people employed at NSSF have research, training and dissemination of knowledge and experience as their main tasks. In addition to a wide range of clinical and epidemiological research studies, the centre operates a master’s program in suicide prevention, therapist training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and specialized courses in clinical suicidology.
