Reducing access to means and methods of suicide is an important bit of suicide prevention.  We should be careful not to dump extra responsibility onto carers[1].  Caring is already pretty horrendous. But clinicians should be including families in discussions about suicide risk, and access to methods.<p>We know that carers want this kind of involvement because carer&#x27;s organisations say it.  And when someone dies by suicide clinicians say that talking to the family would have reduced risk.  (This is in the National Confidential Survey[2])<p>[1] carer refers to someone who provides care but is no paid to do so.<p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbmh.manchester.ac.uk&#x2F;cmhs&#x2F;research&#x2F;centreforsuicideprevention&#x2F;nci&#x2F;reports&#x2F;n326N210715.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbmh.manchester.ac.uk&#x2F;cmhs&#x2F;research&#x2F;centreforsuic...</a>
