Our work in suicide prevention

Here to Help is a new service within SJOG raising awareness of the risk of suicide for autistic people. By engaging with people with lived experience, the project has been co-designed to produce a range of accessible resources through an interactive website.

Our current priorities

Our current priorities focus on supporting individuals, families, and professionals, particularly in the Tees Valley area. We are developing a comprehensive support toolkit with strategies and resources for young people aged 14 and above as they transition into adulthood. Additionally, we are working on the creation of an online resource hub to provide accessible information and support. Through our mobile sensory unit, we are running awareness campaigns to educate and raise awareness about autism, mental health, and the risks of suicide.

Our current challenges

There is no standard approach to support, therefore, understanding individual needs and ensuring long-term engagement within the programme is seen as a challenge.
