2021 Towards Zero Event : 8-12 Nov, ONLINE

November 8, 2021 – November 12, 2021
online

Each year we hold an event for our community to come together to think about the ways in which we can support our ambition for zero suicides in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. In a change to the previous announcement, this year’s Towards Zero online events will now take place on Monday 8 – Friday 12 November 2021. A series of webinars will be hosted on the Safer Cornwall Facebook page throughout the week, with subjects including: 8 November – Farming and Agriculture What real life stories tell us about the emotional demands and needs of this profession. 9 November – Caring for someone The impact on mental wellbeing of looking after someone who has suicidal thoughts and the support that is available for carers. 10 November – Social media and suicide A closer look at the evidence to explore the impact of what we see online and in the media. 11 November – How can I get involved in Suicide Prevention? Exploring practical, safe ways that can help everyone to be part of suicide prevention. 12 November – ‘Hope through action’ A panel session with local suicide prevention innovation fund projects supporting our communities. If you are unable to attend these events on the day, recordings of these webinars will be shared online at a later date. If you have any questions you would like answered around these subjects or suicide prevention work more generally, you can email suicideprevention@cornwall.gov.uk and we will try our best to answer those at the relevant event.
