As seen on BBC Radio 4, When It Is Darkest (UK: Vermilion, 2021) wishes to dispel unhelpful myths about suicide and increase understanding on the subject. Drawing on decades of work in the field of suicide prevention and research, and having been bereaved by suicide twice, Professor O’Connor published When It Is Darkest: Why People Die by Suicide and What We Can Do to Prevent it. This book also aims to untangle the complex reasons behind suicide and  offer advice on communication and supporting someone vulnerable.
