About this event
Organised by Solace @ Empowerment in partnership with Blackpool Council, this ground-breaking conference returns for its second year — and promises to be a powerful and inspiring day.
Bringing together key stakeholders, experts, and members of the community, the event will focus on suicide prevention and support for those impacted by suicide. With a line-up of thought-provoking speakers and collaborative discussions, the conference aims to bridge the gaps in existing approaches and champion the vision of a zero-suicide society.
Rooted in lived experience, this conference will inspire hope, reduce stigma, and drive actionable change — with a special focus on collaboration for action. We’ll explore how working together across services and communities can provide timely, meaningful support when it matters most.
Your participation helps raise awareness, strengthens our collective response, and moves us closer to a future where every life is valued.
Secure your ticket today and be part of this vital conversation.
