ABSTRACTBackground: A substantial proportion of UK military personnel experiencing mental health problems do not seek professional support. Although the promotion of help-seeking is a key suicide prevention strategy, little is known about help-seeking for self-harm and suicidal behaviours among the UK Armed Forces. Objective: This study aimed to explore UK ex-serving personnel’s experiences of seeking help for self-harm, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts.
