I suggest you read the next three chapters, “Introduction”, “Let’s Talk About These People,” and “What is Suicide and How Can We Classify it,” and then skim through the burgundy text until you reach “Can we predict and prevent suicide?” In this chapter, read the first topic (“The Window of Opportunity”). For this reading guide, anyone in the position of, the interest in and the curiosity to learn about preventing suicide at the grassroots level is a gatekeeper. Gatekeepers are coaches, teachers, community leaders, spiritual leaders, and civil rights movement leaders. They are at a qualitatively different situation concerning the identification of red flags and their interest in the topics covered by this group. These would be all those mentioned by Quinnett minus lived-experience movement leaders. I am assuming a loose form of Quinnett's gatekeeper concept, used on Chapter 5 ("Can we predict and prevent suicide?"), in "The Window of Opportunity," as "people who may be strategically positioned to identify distress in the community and could be trained as gatekeepers" (Quinnett 2013). Here are some suggestions for different types of readers. The book was written in a certain order for the sake of the argument but it can be read according to the order that best satisfies the reader’s needs. If the reader is someone dealing with their own suicidal challenges, a jargon-laden book would be of very little use. A conversation between psychiatrists, as unconventional as they may be, with lived-experience movement leaders who question the validity of psychiatric nosology, is a first very hard step to take. To integrate the contributions of lived-experience movements, even more critical terminology negotiation must take place. After all, to promote interdisciplinarity, one has to negotiate common terms to even start a conversation. One of the first concerns I have addressed is to avoid the use of any jargon. Writing to such different audiences as gatekeepers, other scholars, lived-experience movement leaders and a general readership concerned with public health and suicide is a challenge.

Introduction: Who lifts the barbell and who does the barbell liftģ. Only then it will be possible to understand in which circumstances lifting can be a positive and in which it can be a negative influence over the suicidal person. It is my mission with this project to delve into the most relevant scientific disciplines where suicide was studied, the customers/users/survivors’ movements of mental suffering people, and try to bridge the gaps between them.
