Working in mental health education and suicide prevention at Jami. Writer and Dramatherapist All views are my own.
Together with @JamiPeople & @LizTwistMP, yesterday we brought together practitioners, politicians and a variety of wider voluntary sector organisations to discuss suicide prevention at a roundtable meeting at @JamiPeople's @headroomcafe.
PM @RishiSunak answering q about #SuicidePrevention at #PMQs. Important moment, given the history of shame & secrecy surrounding suicide. Later this year? I read the near-final draft today.
🧡// Jami led an interactive training session on suicide prevention at @NNLS_Masorti for a wonderful group of Masorti and Reform Clergy. Once again we are humbled to learn of the incredible work our Rabbis and colleagues do to support our community’s mental health.
Recognition of extraordinary campaign by @philippirie to end use of tickbox assessments of suicide risk, after death of his son Tom. Outstanding example of what can be achieved by combining research evidence & personal story. thetimes.co.uk/article/c0176b…
🚨 Urgent: The Government has been ending vital local suicide prevention funding across England. This decision completely undermines their promise to deliver the suicide prevention strategy that we desperately need. 1/4

New suicide figures from @ONS covering deaths registered in July-Sep 2022. Means we now have figs for first 9m of the year & a good idea of what 2022 as a whole will show. Short 🧵 & TW.
