Tenant Webinar: Reducing Suicide Risk in Our Housing Community

Who it’s for: All tenants, residents, community groups.

• Recent data show that Wales has one of the highest suicide rates in the UK with rates highest in the poorest electoral ward areas in Wales.
• Stress from housing, money, or life challenges can affect wellbeing and we want to make sure people don’t feel alone
• Everyone can play a part in preventing suicides, recognising risk and putting appropriate support o and signposting in place.

• Understand the risks and how to spot the signs that someone may be struggling
• Learn simple tips on how to become a better listener and help someone to open up about how they are feeling
• How to help signpost friends, neighbours or family in your housing community for further support

• A chance to talk and learn in a safe, supportive space
• Useful tools and information to help you support others - and yourself
• The confidence to contact or signpost to support services (charities, community groups, housing staff)

You don’t need any experience - just an open mind and a willingness to help.  We hope you will join us. Together, we can build a stronger, kinder community where everyone feels heard and supported. Most importantly, we can potentially save lives.
