YOU:You have, most likely, been touched by suicide in your life.Maybe you have lost someone to suicide. (Please, find help via www.speaktheirname.org)Maybe you have supported someone through their darkest times. Maybe you have managed to keep yourself alive, through your suicide thoughts or behaviour.Maybe several of these. Either way: I see you and you are not alone.You would, I know, do ANYTHING to avoid even one more person dying by suicide.ME:I am a passionate and experienced suicide prevention trainer (since 2015) who has equipped 1000s of people around the world with the skills and confidence to talk about suicide. Because talking about suicide CAN SAVE A LIFE. I know this because talking has saved my life, and the lives of countless people around me, professionally and personally. 🌟 I co-created Talking about Suicide: 10 Tools (TAS10) training with Ann Feloy - now delivered to over 5,000 people and on the curriculum at several UK Medical Schools.🌟 I am a LivingWorks Master Trainer, having delivered 70+ ASIST workshops across both hemispheres.🌟 I was in the first ever cohort of Suicide First Aid tutors, and I created first participant handbook and redesigned the tutor manual.🌟 I create bespoke suicide prevention training e.g. for staff at Westminster Abbey and staff/prisoners at Wandsworth Prison.I LOVE what I do, because it allows me to meet - and to educate and empower - people from every walk of life... and to learn and grow myself, every day.To be clear, talking about suicide is NOT:(a) NICHE - most all of us have been affected by suicide; it is everyone's business and a part of being human. We all deserve to have life-saving tools under our belts.(b) DEPRESSING - when we challenge our fears, talking about suicide isn't depressing, it becomes HOPEFUL. I am in the business of HOPE.I have also:👉 Managed multi-award-winning projects including Safe Space (10pm-4am in central Brighton: you can imagine) and the Baton of Hope Brighton team 2023 👉 Driven/worked my way across the Sahara Desert in a self-made campervan👉 Run role-play sessions (with young actors) to train trainee doctors how to better communicate with teenage patients who are self-harming/ thinking of suicideWho am I behind the 'work'?I live by the sea and practice yoga and weight-lifting for fun, and enjoy nutritious food (my husband is a phenomenal cook). I sing in a choir. I have brilliant friends and a deeply meaningful community. And finally, I laugh often - my hilarious kiddo and beloved husband help.
