The Calderdale Suicide Prevention Network aims to act as 'a people's voice for the prevention of suicide'.
The network will meet at least four times a year, forming a learning space in which we listen to one another’s perspectives on the issues of both suicide and suicide prevention.
This network will aim to have a positive impact on suicide prevention by:
Creating advocates: people who attend the network will reflect on their role in suicide prevention in society – professional or personal.
Influencing strategy: by sharing the knowledge we generate with Calderdale’s strategic groups.
Connecting people: to form a contact point for people and organisations who care about suicide prevention, creating new possibilities for collaboration beyond this network.
It is for:
- Anyone who cares about preventing suicide,
- who may have been personally affected by suicide,
- including those on the frontline of crisis response or those who support people affected by suicide.
Why this network is important:
Prevention: our cause is to prevent lives from being lost and reducing the wider impact of suicide in Calderdale.
Understanding: we can’t prevent something until we understand it better.
Need: we are in need of a space for understanding suicide on a human level.
What we will do:
We will create a learning space in which we listen to one another’s perspectives on the issues of both suicide and suicide prevention.
We will share our learnings with Calderdale’s strategic groups to influence the way that suicide prevention is actioned by our health teams and crisis response services.
