11 May Suicide Bereavement Conference by Harmless
Harmless are proud to announce that we are hosting our forth online Suicide Bereavement conference to examine the practical application of working in the field of suicide bereavement, every Tuesday and Thursday between 5th of September – 28th of September 2023.
Introducing our confirmed speakers with more to follow…
- Harmless and The Tomorrow Project – Working with trauma in the suicide bereavement pathway
- Dr Rachel Gibbions (Royal College of Psychiatrists) – The impact of patient loss by suicide upon clinicians
The Theme for this year is: * Practical Applications: 2 Steps Forward 1 Step Back How Do We Maintain Momentum in Challenging Times- I wanted to make you aware of this excellent opportunity to be part of this change along with all of the amazing work you do, and how seriously you take the mental and physical wellbeing of your communities whilst striving to tackle the multicomplex socioeconomic issues of today’s climate.
I myself have been bereaved by suicide, so know all too well the need for better education around the topics of suicide, and is why I work for Harmless, trying to ensure the UK and beyond become a safer place to be, a place where people have to tools to engage with those in bereaved or in crisis, and where those in crisis can reach out without fear of judgement or stigma, so with that in mind please see details of the sessions and Eventbrite booking links below:
Practical Applications: 2 Steps Forward 1 Step Back How Do We Maintain Momentum in Challenging Times
Every Tuesday and Thursday between 5th of September – 28th of September 2023, Harmless will be hosting a live online webinar session (10:00-11:00am) with an expert in the field of suicide bereavement. This unique CPD-accredited conference will be held online over 8 short sessions to allow you to join in flexibly at however many sessions you’d like.
The field of suicide bereavement is a particularly specialist area. When we start talking about suicide it can be surprising how many others have a story to tell. So many of us are impacted by suicide either through the tragic loss of a loved one, someone we once worked with, someone in our community, a patient, or someone very supportive. Everyone has a story.
We are hosting our forth online Suicide Bereavement conference to examine the practical application of working in the field of suicide bereavement, split over 8 live webinars during the month of World Suicide Prevention Day.
As in previous years, the conference will be shaped around the following five strategic areas:
- Collaborative partnership
- Service user representation
- Effective practice
- Driving change
- Overcoming stigma and discrimination
Introducing our confirmed speakers and sessions…
- Harmless and The Tomorrow Project – Working with trauma in the suicide bereavement pathway
- Dr Rachel Gibbions (Royal College of Psychiatrists) – The impact of patient loss by suicide upon clinicians
The programme is designed to help those of us working with anyone impacted by suicide to improve our knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to suicide bereavement. Delegates can expect to take away from the conference a range of knowledge, inspiration and practical applications for the implementation in real life personal and professional situations. Learning from some of the leaders in the field, delegates will have access to interactive sessions that can drive change in the field of suicide bereavement.
