520 |a The suicide rate in India (15.84) currently exceeds the global average (11.23) making suicide a significant public health concern. Although suicides in India are debated on medico-legal, socio-cultural, economic and political fronts, the help that is offered to people during times of crisis, before and after the attempt is very minimal. The paper aims to explore support mechanisms from the perspectives of 15 survivors, eight mental health professionals and seven traditional healers in south India. The data were analysed thematically and explored using Bourdieu’s theoretical concepts. Data indicated medical intervention as a prominent method with reservations towards psychological therapies. Reliance upon religious and traditional healing systems was culturally accepted source of support. The social and cultural power experienced by service users and service providers demonstrated a potential to influence behaviours, attitudes, decisions, approaches to services and strategies for support.
