Book Now For Free Mental Health And Suicide Awareness Training In Nottinghamshire
As September comes to an end, we have so much to reflect on here at Harmless. Some of you might be aware that on the 10th September, it was World Suicide Prevention Day. Many people posted some really powerful stories of their experience around this difficult and emotive topic including friends, families and loved ones. Additionally throughout September we have held the Suicide Berevement Conference: Surviving A Crisis. Tickets are still available and you can access pre-recorded sessions.
Having read, and listened to so many experiences reminds us that it is more important than ever that we remember that Suicide Awareness is not just for one day. Suicide is a significant national social issue in the United Kingdom. In 2019 there were 5,691 registered deaths by suicide in England and Wales, equating to an average of 18 suicides per day in the country.
Knowing this, you might be wondering, “what can I do?”
That is exactly why we are here. As well as the brilliant services and pathways that Harmless has to offer, we also have some upcoming training for those in Nottinghamshire. We know that education is a key factor when it comes to supporting anyone who is struggling.
