How do we put ‘discussing suicide’ on the national curriculum?
There is no denying that suicide prevention is a difficult subject which therefore, makes it a subject that should be talked about more. No one should get to the point where they believe that there is no hope.
When on mental health first aid training back in 2019, a particular fact struck me regarding suicide survivors from those jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge in California.
All 29 people who survived their attempt at suicide off of San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge have stated that they regretted their decision as soon as they jumped.
This research has confirmed that much more must be done to prevent further tragedy.
