[WEBINAR] Care not Treatment

About this webinar:

In 2020 LELAN surveyed and interviewed more than 100 people with a lived experience of suicide distress or crisis – including those who had supported someone through suicide distress or crisis and those bereaved by suicide.

From this the Care not Treatment advocacy suite was formed, which includes a 38 minute documentary centering the wisdom of eleven people with lived experience. In this we will share further insights on what helps, what harms, and what could be done better to understand and support people through suicide distress and crisis.

Who this webinar is for:

Providers, peer workers, family and friends - anyone in the community who wants to learn skills around more about alternative approached to treatment and increase their understanding of lived experience perspectives on suicide distress or crisis.

Whilst LELAN actively advocates for systems level change in the mental health and social sectors, we were advised by our Project Advisory Group that for this project connections at all levels were really important. This includes family, friends and community as well as services. This webinar is available free to people with an interest in this important topic. 

Structure of the webinar:

The webinar will run for 45 minutes with an additional 15 minutes question and answer time. The webinar will be held completely online and requires a computer and stable internet connection to attend.

Webinar Facilitator: 

Dr Amy Wright, LELAN Peer Project Worker
