Trauma and suicide prevention webinar

Back to Hub


Scottish Government, COSLA, Suicide Prevention Scotland and the Improvement Service are hosting an online event focusing on joining the dots between embedding a trauma-informed approach, suicide prevention and supporting people affected by suicidality and self harm.

The event will cover the following:

  • Reflect on how trauma, suicidality and self harm shows up in people’s lives and their experience of seeking help;
  • Share learning and inspiration from practice;
  • Bring together colleagues working within suicide prevention, self harm and those working to embed a trauma-informed approach to join the dots across these policy agendas; and
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen the links across these and other key policy agendas locally, regionally and nationally across Scotland, and identify what further support might be needed to do so.

The session is focused on bringing colleagues together to make links across these policy agendas at a strategic level and support joined-up working at that strategic level.

If you are embedding a trauma-informed approach in your in college, university or students’ association, this session may be useful.
