    From Awareness to (Overdue) Action (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In this final episode of this mini series we recap on the important learning to take away and I have to admit to a little rant about why it is taking so long for us to take ACTION. This issue was first identified in research back in 1995 - over 30 years ago and still people are talking about "better awareness" rather than "improved action". We also need to stop being satisfied by telling folks to "Reach out" if they need help, and every single one of us, regardless of our role or responsibility,

    Hayley's Story - behind every statistic is a person and their family (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    TW - please make sure that you are ready to listen to the tragic story of a young girl who took her own life. This story is not about sensationalisting or shocking, this story, about Hayley, is to make sure we never forget that behind the often quoted statistics, sits a person whose life has been lost. A family dealing with that sadness and grief and a system that has gaps in it. More victims of domestic abuse died by suicide than homicide in the last 3 years here in the UK. Those are the number

    Reach Out Is Not Enough - Why Reaching In Matters (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    You have no doubt seen the well-meaning encouragement around Mental Health and Suicidal Risk where we tell people all they have to do is Reach Out. No doubt this Autumn #ReachOut will appear on socials but I am here to tell you why this is completely the wrong emphasis, why this is simply not enough and what we need to be doing instead. If you are already overwhelmed and feeling hopeless, worthless and like a burden to others, reaching out may not be within your capability for all sorts of reaso

    Dual Risk - Suicide Prevention in a Domestic Abuse Setting - Everyone has a role (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    In this episode we talk about why a community approach to this issue is needed. People may be disclosing fragments of information to many different people, services and agencies - so this is not just a "domestic abuse practitioner" issue - far from it. The Dual Risk Framework covers 3 levels - from the GP Receptionise who might recognise an issue, to the Police Officer who has been called out to an incident, as well as the GP or IDVA or Social Worker who has an ongoing relationship and can help

    Dual Risk - Suicide Prevention in a Domestic Abuse Setting - Spotting the risks (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    What does suicide risk actually look like? The answer may not be what you expect. In this episode, Andrea Newton challenges many of the assumptions we hold about suicidal distress, exploring why people can appear to be coping while quietly carrying an overwhelming burden. She discusses functional freeze, the subtle signs that can easily be overlooked, and how domestic abuse and coercive control can hide in plain sight. Through a practical suicide prevention lens, this episode will help you recog
