Zero Suicide Alliance - Free Suicide Awareness Training

On the 10th September 2022, it is World Suicide Prevention Day

Let's Talk about Suicide and Make it a preventable death!

Thanks to Zero Suicide Alliance for providing training, evidence-based and interactive resources for supporting communities in preventing suicide.

Follow the three steps - SEE - SAY - SIGNPOST - to prevent suicide

Notice if someone looks tired or irritable. Ask the person if they are OK, we shall show our concerns and invite them to share their feelings. If through the conversation, we notice that the person does not feel that they belong to a family or a group, they feel like a burden. We need to identify the latter as a risk factor a person does not feel that they belong somewhere.

There are more information and cues in the training and I with all my heart invite you to complete it and share it with others.

Which support?

My main purpose is to make the invisible visible: the talents, stories, passion and majesty of all the people that I meet.  I do this under the umbrella of Lightseekers for community arts projects and start-ups, Transition Leicester for environmental projects, Leicester Fixers for projects supporting repair. Depending on the focus of your project, I'll support you through planning and project delivery (Inc. Research, event management, curation, marketing and communication and more) - mentorship, training and consultancy as well as bid writing and fundraising + advertising opportunities. I have several packages for support with a first hour discussing your vision and what you are looking to achieve for free. Contact me via social media  and send me your email address with an idea of the projects you are looking to develop. I will then send you a list of all the offerings accordingly.

In the search of who we are - Have a wonderful year 2015

Steven Spielberg and Cyril Cusack are having a conversation at a New Year's eve party. An anonymous is sitting next to them.  Spielberg starts: ' All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives ' .  'Indeed' replied Cyril Cusack 'i f you ask me for my New Year Resolution, it will be to find out who I am.'   That being said the anonymous declares:  'I wish you to not try to find who you are. The search is like following a shadow in the grey, you will never catch it. So just be - the light erasing any shadow of doubts in your mind. Be the sun painting new landscapes of beauty and adventures, be the moon sculpting your dreams and highest aspirations.'   Happy New Year
