As a mental health practitioner, Christine seeks to empower communities and individuals to help stop suicides by being alert to the warning signs, asking directly about suicide and helping those who are feeling suicidal to stay safe. She is fully aware of how common suicidal thoughts are and as a trainer and campaigner she is familiar with all the barriers that exist around talking and asking about suicide. This short video below has been created to help to reduce that gap of understanding, reduce fear and encourage engagement.

Supporting Someone to Stay Safe
I would benefit from sessions in order to support someone
If you are feeling scared or unsafe with your thoughts
Suicidal thoughts are not uncommon. For anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts, sessions will support you to record and create your own Safety Plan. It’s designed to offer hope, compassion and practical ideas on how to find your own way forward. It provides a practical and protective strategy moving forward.
During sessions Christine will support you in building your strategies and resources around self care and addressing other areas to support wellbeing.
