Bringing the suicide prevention community together in a time of change

Suicide prevention is powered by people: Individuals, families, communities, organisations and networks who show up, listen, connect and keep pushing for change. every day.

Join us for our upcoming conference Stronger Together: Shaping the Future of Suicide Prevention at The Kia Oval in London, 09:30-17:00 on Wednesday 21st October.

Suicide Prevention is an ever changing landscape. As national priorities evolve and responsibility moves across local, regional and national systems it is our responsibility as a community to keep people at the centre of progress.

England is at a pivotal moment. With the national strategy well underway, the focus is now on turning commitment into impact, future proofing and making sure momentum does not fade.

Alongside this, the NSPA has entered a new chapter too: a new host, wider engagement and a future strategy shaped with and by the people closest to this work.

This conference will bring together the change makers: people with lived experience, practitioners, researchers, policymakers, community organisations and system leaders. Expect celebration of progress, honest conversations about collective challenges, practical insight and a space for our community to find new ways to influence, innovate and collaborate.
