As we continue our focus on reducing stigma in suicide prevention, our next webinar will showcase meaningful involvement of young people with lived experience of suicide.
We will be joined by members of the Youth Advisory Group, Youth Involvement Officer, and Dr Maria Michail from the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Mental Health. They will explore how the Institute involve young Experts by Experience in the design, implementation, and translation of suicide prevention research.
The panel will highlight the opportunities and impact gained from true partnerships between researchers and Experts by Experience. They will explain how this approach was used to produce #MyGPguide.
#MyGPguide is an evidence-based resource, designed by young people, for young people with lived experience of self harm or suicidality. It is designed to prepare young people for their GP consultation about their mental health.
- The panel will highlight and reflect on various issues that have been raised when considering the feasibility, value, ethics and safeguarding of coproduction in suicide prevention research.
- Additionally, they will be discussing the vital role of primary care in suicide prevention; highlighting how GPs can support young people at-risk of suicide.
- The webinar will include a 30 min Q&A session with the audience.
