Sharon McDonnell, founder of suicide bereavement UK, touching talk today, right up my alley as an older age psychiatrist. Such an important and neglected area and a perspective that needs changing. Stunning as always ❤️🩹 #sbukconf26 #suicideprevention #mentalhealth

Our Brindley show has moved from tonight to February, but I still got to see my dear friend @NevilleSouthall on his birthday and give him his card 💙
Lovely to meet @Postvention1 at today’s @SBUK11 conference too. We’ll support their work on next year’s Two Keepers tour.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. It can be very difficult for so many.
I’ve chosen this image because it reflects the warmth we can offer one another, especially on challenging days, like today. Sending a big hug and holding hope for anyone who needs it today. x

PABBS training always brings people together with a shared purpose. There’s a quiet courage in the room — a willingness to learn and a commitment to support those bereaved by suicide. Delivering PABBS today at Gloucester Museum. Packs ready. #PABBS
