Suicide prevention through design | WEBINAR

Hosted by the CIWEM South Eastern branch and Metropolitan branch

Event description

Although there are over 6,000 suicides in the UK each year, suicide is not inevitable. Research suggests that around a third of all suicides take place outside the home, in a public location.

Suicides in public places may be more easily preventable than those that occur in the privacy of the home. There are a number of effective steps that can be taken to prevent public places being used for suicidal acts and to increase the chances of last-minute intervention.

This seminar will explore how our design and operation of public places can incorporate suicide prevention measures.

Part of the CIWEM Well-being digital series.
