News > Uncategorised > Lived experience network launched, September 2020

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our lived experience network, working to enable and support people with lived experience of suicide to influence suicide prevention policy and practice.

By ‘lived experience’ we mean people who have experienced suicidal thoughts, people who have attempted suicide, people living with or in relationships with those with suicidal thoughts, and those bereaved by suicide. This can include professionals working in this field with personal experience.

There are currently two ways to get involved:

– Join our online panel and respond to surveys and polls in your own time, or on subjects you particularly care about
– Apply to become an Influencer and get training and support to influence at a strategic level in meetings or by responding to policy proposals
