Demee Rheinberger The National Suicide Prevention Conference 2024

Demee Rheinberger

Demee Rheinberger Post-doctoral Research Fellow at University of NSW and Black Dog Institute. Her work largely focuses on suicide prevention and self-harm in adolescents and their families via qualitative exploration. She has been involved in suicide prevention research since 2019, working on LifeSpan – Australia’s largest suicide prevention trial, with a strong focus on crisis and emergency care. During this time, Demee has engaged with adolescents experiencing suicide crisis or engaging in self-harm and their parents, emergency department (ED) users, support persons, and hospital staff to understand how the ED system influences the care available to individuals in suicide distress. Her doctoral studies were co-designed with a group of mothers, and culminated in the co-design of a tool to support parents of suicidal teens when they attend an ED.
