The Society supported ‘World Suicide Day’ on the 10th September not only as a key feature of the Mental Health Wellness SIG, but also as part of the MHWD group. In addition to this a member of the SIG presented on the 11th September at the British Society of Peadiatric Dentistry Teachers conference in Cardiff. Our message this year is around ‘Hope’.
We are fortunate enough to have a link into the MindsetUK group and their on-going reseach through our Executive member Fiona Ellwood. Fiona will be attending the Canmore Trust event in Glasgow later in the year, as she continues to support his work on suicide prevention and suicide postvention.For further information please follow the link https://thecanmoretrust.co.uk/what-we-do/
