Self-harm is now seen as an epidemic affecting young people across the world and particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) such as Pakistan. Young people in Pakistan often come across many troubles such as mental health and family problems, stress at school and social and economic inequalities. A youth suicide prevention programme is needed in Pakistan. Such programme will be based on secondary schools (where most young people are) and will support schools to work together with many public agencies to tackle the full range of troubles that young people face. Our main research aim is to work together with multiple stakeholders to culturally adapt and test the feasibility of three SEPAK interventions to prevent suicide among students in secondary schools in Pakistan (aged 12 to 17 years).
