Your Voice Matters: Suicide Prevention | 28th September | 6:30pm - 7:30pm | 1 Hour Online Session 

Join us for our Your Voice Matters session this September. 

At the end of September - the month that holds Suicide Prevention Awareness Week, SIPP, Walk of Hope and many more themed activities - we want to provide a space for people to connect and catch up with peers. A space to discuss what has been meaningful, what is going well and what could be better. A space to feel heard and to share how much or little you would like to share about suicide prevention.

This peer meet-up is not a space for crisis intervention, if you are looking for urgent support please contact emergency helplines (999), Samaritans or Breathing Space, however we understand the topic can be triggering therefore the session is hosted by facilitators that are trained in Scottish Mental Health First Aid.

Our focus is connection, understanding and creating a space where you can talk openly without judgement. Everything shared in the session stays in the session unless you give us consent to use it in our Collective Voice report (completely anonymous and unidentifiable). We hold the space with care, confidentiality and compassion.

There is no pressure to speak. You are welcome to come along, listen, and take part in whatever way feels right for you. You can join with your camera on, but are also welcome to join with camera off if that feels more comfortable to you.

About Collective Voice

Alongside offering support, Moray Wellbeing Hub also gathers lived and living experience to help shape better support, reduce stigma and influence positive change in Moray.

This is called Collective Voice - a way for community experience to guide decisions, services and awareness-raising.

Taking part in Collective Voice is completely optional.

• If you attend the session purely for support and do not want anything you share to be included in our Collective Voice work, we will fully respect that.
• If you do want to contribute, you can choose how much or how little you share.

Prefer to Share Your Experience Anonymously?

If you are unable to attend the session, or you would rather share your experience privately, and in your own time, you can use our anonymous form:

FAQs:

What makes Moray Wellbeing Hub courses different?
Real life experiences: We believe in harnessing the power of life experiences, taking what can be challenging and abstract concepts and make it more 'real', practically useful and easier to relate to for participants. Wherever possible our courses are delivered by peer-trainers, people who know the approaches and experiences first hand from their own life.

Keeping it local: Moray has a wealth of support and education organisations in wellbeing. Our courses are delivered for the benefit of the Moray community and therefore endeavour to help our participants build sustainable links beyond any course; resources they can signpost to and access in Moray. Wherever possible we will use local trainers, venues and resources, as well as promote and deliver our courses in mutual partnership with all sizes of local organisations.
