Reminder that January is a high risk time for suicide.
People facing the year ahead, family rows over Xmas, alcohol.
Look after family & friends. Ask for help. Suicide is preventable.
We are asking clinicians working in #mentalhealth care to take part in a survey examining the impact of patient suicide on well-being & clinical practice. If you've experienced the death of a patient by suicide & would like to take part see here https://t.co/5u0MSGpjO3
Our Director Prof Nav Kapur spent a brilliant day in Bath yesterday with Tash Bryant and frontline colleagues from @AWPNHS learning about their leading work in a more personalised approach to suicide risk @NCCMentalHealth. Their new system has been in place for almost a year
Female nurses have a high suicide rate. Our new report @NCISH_UK finds workplace & financial stresses & low rate of help-seeking from MH services they work alongside.
Assisted suicide sends a harmful message that lives marked by illness and disability aren't worth living. It creates a two-tier society where suicide prevention only applies to some suffering people. No MP interested in equality should vote for Kim Leadbeater’s Bill today.
If we can find a home for the lovely Nina who is in foster in Wales (she can travel) then Archie gets his chance to come to foster. Nina is a wonderful girl. House trained, friendly, great on the lead. A cuddle bug. Please consider her if you are looking for a dog to complete your family 🙏
@SGV_UK Ok, well I think you could ask your care coordinator, or even your friends on here to help you develop one. Something visual that you can look at on difficult days
@SGV_UK Carry on with good self-care and minimise stress wherever possible, long may this last. A brilliant achievement and you should feel proud of the work you’ve had to put in to achieve this
