A short film as a resource to raise awareness of suicidal behaviours, how to prevent them and how to support anyone who is affected by suicide, suicidal ideation or self-harm, be that of themselves or someone close to them. Includes an interview with Sam Johnson, Counsellor and Psychotherapist, on her experiences of supporting children with suicidal behaviours.
September is suicide awareness month. The aims of this month is to raise awareness of suicidal behaviours and how to prevent them, including promotion of action at national levels. Closer to home mental health organisations are working closely together to support anyone who is affected by self harm, suicidal ideation or by suicide, but also someone who is affected by someone else in their family if someone else has had those feelings or who has acted in that way.
Alongside you we want to support this movement by joining the collaboration and also to support you as adults who are working on the frontline with children and young people in schools and other contexts, by making this short film as a resources for you.
