Abstract
The North Yorkshire Rural Initiative was set up in May 1994 to reduce the suicide rate in the county’s farmers. The difficulties faced in achieving the alliance’s aims and objectives partly reflect the nature of suicide and the geographical setting of the heath alliance but also illustrate some of the issues and problems of collaborative working as highlighted in the first section of this book.
