The National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health show that suicide deaths among patients in contact with mental health services within 12 months of suicide accounted for 27% of all general population suicides. Supporting these vulnerable, often traumatised, clients is one of the most stressful situations for a therapist and sessions can often trigger self-doubt and anxiety.

Trigger Warning: This post talks about Suicide. A brilliant post from Mind ahead of World Suicide Prevention Day highlighting the importance of suicide prevention and sharing a toolkit to help you and your organisation. A few months ago I completed a course in Suicide Awareness training which I would recommend to all HR professionals, leaders and managers to do. Its a tough but incredibly important topic. Having an increased awareness of mental health and most importantly the language that we should try to use/avoid could be the difference in saving a persons life. #mentalhealth #suicideawareness #hr #peoplemanagement #leadership #leadershipdevelopment

Today is #BellLetsTalk day. This year’s theme is all about real change. If we want to make real change, we have to understand what we’re dealing with. One consequence of our mental health crisis and the difficulty of getting adequate treatment means that 21 Canadians die of opioid overdose every day. Let’s take action for mental health. Let’s create real change. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can be hard to keep in mind the various resources and skills that aid in mental health. To help with that, we recommend printing out this small pocket-sized guide to provide a reminder when you need it: https://ow.ly/U7fy50Qu3gs
