As the NSPAG prepares to welcome its amazing new Chair and I stand down, my heart is full of admiration and gratitude for all of you working so hard to save others from the risk and tragedy of suicide. Thank you. I’ll always stand with you. We’ll all be #CreatingHopeTogether
Over six years @Rose_Fitzp has played a key leadership role in our mission to prevent suicide. Now she's stepping down from her role as chair of our National Suicide Prevention Advisory Group. In her final interview, Rose reflects on her time - and hopes for the future. 💙💜

"With the UNCRC now in force, we have a real chance to reshape policies for young people. To make Scotland the best place to grow, we must include their voices in policy decisions. Prevention works when we use their insights to create meaningful change." #YLSConf24
