Dr. Kayla Cooley

I’m a suicide researcher, nonprofit director, writer, activist and educator. My work explores how suicide and the internet intersect. I’m very interested  in digital extremists and communities of harm. I specialise in suicide methods and locations.

Through both academic research and frontline crisis response work, I’m always looking for ways to challenge how we think about suicide prevention, intervention and postvention care in complex, intersectional contexts.

I’ve been delivering suicide intervention training across the country for almost ten years.
