Headlight Project- Suicide Awareness and Prevention Session

Suicide figures are continuing to rise in the United Kingdom and in 2024 it was reported that 6190 people took their own life in England and Wales. Our mission at the Headlight Project is “To reduce the number of deaths by suicide in the Tees Valley through therapy of those bereaved by suicide and preventative education and training.” We work within businesse, workplaces and communities across the Tees Valley to provide free preventative training and education.

We are looking forward to delivering our session at AV Dawson and creating important conversations around suicide prevention.

The aims of the presentation are to:

• introduce the charity and why we were founded
• raise awareness of suicide and the alarming numbers in our region
• provide information about the services offered by the Headlight Project
• introduce actions for creating a suicide safer community and workplace
• address myths and misconceptions that surround suicide
• work with individuals to encourage open conversations about suicide and also to empower people to spot the signs
