To meet the needs of our diverse service lines, we are changing the Safe from Suicide drop in sessions. As you may be aware these have been operational for many years allowing staff to discuss issues with the Safe from Suicide team. These issues can be:
- Suicide safety issues relating to specific service user or team dilemmas
- Safety Plans
- Issues around ERISK and Safety Assessment framework
- A chance to gain support for clinical decisions
- Hear about the work we do linked to our strategic approach.
The aim going forward is to provide a more dedicated time to a specific service areas. To aid this, the sessions will be held on a Tuesday morning between 10am and 11am on the following weeks of the month:
First Tuesday – Mental Health Urgent and Community Care
Second Tuesday – Mental Health In-patients
Fourth Tuesday – Community Care Division (including CYP, IAPT etc)
The third Tuesday of the month will be dedicated to ERISK training, once the training update is completed as part of the safety assessment framework.
The session links will be on the learning prospectus, the Safe from Suicide Intranet page or by directly contacting the team at Safefrom
You can attend for the hour, drop in, or book a time slot in your service lines dedicated session. In addition you can email us directly if you wish to have separate dedicated time to discuss anything related to suicide prevention.
