Our work in suicide prevention

Our vision focuses on three core goals.

First, we aim to conduct research that enhances understanding, raises awareness, reduces stigma, and influences policy and practice in the field.

Second, we are committed to developing and delivering evidence-based training to increase knowledge, confidence, and skills for responding to those bereaved by suicide.

Finally, we strive to create a hub for sharing and disseminating expertise and good practice through consultancy and our national annual conference.

Our current priorities

Host our annual conference. This event, a collaboration between us and Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, highlights the critical role of suicide bereavement in suicide prevention. The conference shares key developments in the field while providing a platform for networking, information exchange, learning, and sharing good practices in this evolving area of work in the UK

Our current challenges

Funding is a key issue. We have been set up in direct response to the difficulties securing funding to conduct research via traditional sources.
