Suicide prevention stakeholder workshop

Suicide prevention stakeholder workshop

Suicide is not inevitable, it is preventable, but the causes are complex and the impacts are wide reaching. The most obvious direct impact is the loss of an individual life, however suicide has impacts that reach much further: on bereaved family, friends, colleagues, staff and traumatised wider communities.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy. If we work together suicides can be prevented.

Camden Council, Camden Clinical Commissioning Group, Camden and Islington Foundation Trust and Holy Cross Centre Trust would like to invite you to a suicide prevention stakeholder workshop.

By attending this workshop, you will

• Get an overview of the key demographics and risk factors related to suicides
• Find out more about our local plans to prevent suicide and to support those bereaved by suicide
• Hear about national campaigns and local services
• Meet others working in the field of suicide prevention and the wider risk factors for suicide
• Share ideas and discuss how we might work together on suicide prevention, especially targetting at risk groups with a particular focus on men

If you have any questions please contact Tanvi Barreto, Public Health Strategist on tanvi.barreto@islington.gov.uk or Helena Quinn, Mental Health Commissioning Manager on Helena.Quinn@Camden.gov.uk

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop. Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.
