An overview of the partnership work between Forward For Life and Common Unity to prevent suicide by supporting communities to be Suicide Safer.
Human beings throughout history have taken their own lives, or more simply put, have died from suicide. It is a phenomenon that persists to this day in all societies and within those societies there continues to be strongly held opinions that are deeply rooted regarding suicide. However, these opinions nor the impact of these opinions are debated openly across and within communities – they are just understood “to be” – and because of this unspoken attitude that engulfs this phenomenon, the taboo of suicide in society has become so powerful that the silence that surrounds it at all levels only further serves to strengthen that taboo and cement the stigma associated with suicide.

The value of human life has diminished tohiloni mehta
Tragedies both natural and man-made are diminishing the value placed on human life. Various factors are contributing to this, including negligence regarding safety measures that has led to deadly fires and building collapses in India killing many people. Political and religious conflicts also deprioritize human life when used as excuses to ignore safety or settle scores. Widespread corruption allows money meant to help people to be misused at the cost of human cost.

Invited guests included “Zero Suicide” advocates and pioneers as well as others committed to suicide prevention and better healthcare.
Monica Heynes addresses the summit on gender based violence prevention strategies. In 3 sentences: She advocates for partnership between civil society and local government to comprehensively combat gender based violence; stresses that preventing gender based violence requires addressing the social climate and root causes, not just incidents of violence; and calls for sustained commitment from organizations and leadership to change long-held attitudes through grassroots efforts and equitable laws.
1) The article discusses the importance of social relationships and recovery communities in supporting long-term recovery from substance abuse. It argues that social isolation can lead to relapse or premature death.
2) Over the years, treatment has shifted from just reducing waiting times and getting people into treatment to also focusing on retaining people in treatment long-term and facilitating their transition to social recovery networks and communities after treatment.
3) Public health research demonstrates that strong social relationships are critical for both quality of life and survival. Recovery communities can help substance abusers develop these relationships and support systems that are essential for sustained recovery.

This document discusses teen suicide and Emile Durkheim's theory of suicide. It provides background on rising teen suicide rates in the US and risk factors. It then summarizes Durkheim's definition of suicide, his classification of egoistic, altruistic, and anomic suicide based on levels of social integration and regulation. It describes Durkheim's empirical method of analyzing government statistics but notes criticisms of relying solely on numbers. Overall, the document uses Durkheim's theory to analyze teen suicide and considers its ongoing relevance.
This document discusses the implications of the Care Act 2014 for people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH). It describes how MEH involves a combination of severe issues like addiction, health problems, and trauma. It also discusses how VOICES of Stoke developed a "communication aid" or toolkit to help articulate MEH individuals' needs to social services for assessment. The toolkit aimed to improve collaboration between services and increase MEH groups' access to support under the Care Act. Feedback showed the toolkit helped clarify needs and led to more appropriate assessments.

The representation of the british youth in the media. selcan1997
Selcan Findikoglu argues that the media unfairly represents British youth through negative stereotypes that influence both youth behavior and how adults perceive youth. The media portrays youth as "hooligans, razor gangs, teddy boys, hippies, skinheads and rioters" and influences youth to act this way. Additionally, the media misrepresents the causes of youth knife crime by portraying peers as coercing youth into carrying knives for protection when research shows this is not the case. The author believes the media limits youth opportunities and sends mixed messages by both calling youth the future yet representing them negatively.
This document discusses factors that influence social exclusion, particularly among prisoners. It notes that many prisoners come from deprived backgrounds, have poor education and mental health issues. In prison, inmates often lose contact with outside support networks and coping mechanisms. Upon release, prisoners frequently struggle to find housing, employment and community support, increasing their risk of reoffending. The case study of "Claude" illustrates this vicious cycle of social exclusion and recidivism due to a lack of support both during and after incarceration.
National Council Magazine - Crisis to Recovery EditionDavid Covington
The article discusses the need for improved crisis services in the US. Currently, many people in crisis end up in emergency rooms without adequate care or follow up. The authors argue that a comprehensive community-based crisis system is needed to treat mental health crises with the same urgency as physical health emergencies. Examples from some states and communities show promising approaches, including using data and technology for real-time coordination, and peer-based crisis services that provide support in home-like settings rather than institutions. The authors call for a national effort to transform crisis mental health care.

Modern social work aims to keep people safe. But in practice much of what we do in the name of safety seems to increase risk. How do we really keep people safe and what is the role of social work?
This document discusses the evolution of media through an adaptation and selection process similar to Darwin's theory of evolution. It examines how media artifacts, activities, and arrangements have evolved over time to provide adaptive advantages such as managing social groups and finding mates. The document then explores how themes of love, sex, and death are portrayed in media and how media has influenced sex. It notes key years when media and its portrayal of these themes evolved. Finally, it discusses how dating sites can both distort love but also bring strangers together in ways that open potential for new forms of solidarity.
El Hylobius abietis, conocido como gorgojo del pino, es un parásito de las coníferas, especialmente de los pinos, abetos y piceas. Las hembras ponen huevos en primavera sobre cepas y raíces débiles. Las larvas emergen después de 2-3 semanas y excavan galerías bajo la corteza, pasando luego a la fase de pupa. Los adultos emergen después de 2-3 semanas más y causan daños al alimentarse de corteza, cambium y brotes jóvenes.
Muhammad Hamza completed a free online course on technology entrepreneurship provided by Stanford University through NovoEd. The course discussed the process technology entrepreneurs use to start companies, including taking a technology idea, gathering resources like talent and capital, marketing the idea, and managing rapid growth.

The presentation proposes a new gas dynamic laser (GDL) technology for cutting various materials such as stainless steel. The GDL would provide an affordable and environmentally friendly alternative to existing water jet and CO2 laser technologies. It would offer unlimited power output, fast job times, and lower annual maintenance costs compared to water jets. The presentation outlines an initial $200,000 investment plan over 3 years to develop and commercialize the GDL technology through direct sales, licensing the intellectual property, attending trade conventions, and building a sales force.
This document presents 10 explanations for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle:
1) Human error - disappearances could be due to mistakes by those onboard ships and planes.
2) The Gulf Stream - the strong ocean current could pull vessels off course.
3) Rogue waves - unusually large waves could damage ships.
4) Methane hydrates - explosions of methane gas trapped under the seabed could sink vessels.

This document discusses irrational drug use for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It notes that neuropathic pain may be efficiently treated with some antiepileptics, antidepressants, and narcotic drugs, but does not show a good response to anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. However, in Turkey, drugs without indication or efficacy for neuropathic pain, such as NSAIDs, central muscle relaxants, vitamins, and non-narcotic analgesics, are commonly prescribed. This represents irrational drug use. Data on prescription rates and costs from 2008-2009 show increases in irrational drug use and associated costs, with the proportion of rational vs. irrational drug use remaining steady.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
1. “Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse.
Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
Suicide - The Biggest Elephant in the Room:
An overview of the partnership work between Forward For Life
and Common Unity to prevent suicide by supporting
communities to be Suicide Safer.
2. “Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse.
Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
The Elephants Story
Human beings throughout history have taken their own lives, or more simply put,
have died from suicide. It is a phenomenon that persists to this day in all societies
and within those societies there continues to be strongly held opinions that are deeply
rooted regarding suicide. However, these opinions nor the impact of these opinions
are debated openly across and within communities – they are just understood “to
be” – and because of this unspoken attitude that engulfs this phenomenon, the taboo
of suicide in society has become so powerful that the silence that surrounds it at all
levels only further serves to strengthen that taboo and cement the stigma associated
with suicide.
This stigma serves no purpose to anyone, least of all a person who may be thinking
of taking their own life and is unable to tell anybody due to their own inner feelings
of guilt as well as their concerns as to how such an admittance would be reacted to
by others. So suicide remains the “elephant in the room” that everybody ignores
though it is blatantly there.
Forward For Life and Common Unity understand that most of us have strong, often
deep-seated feelings and opinions about suicide, after all we are only human and
suicide for many is an area that challenges the very concept of human "being" -
some think people have a right to die, others, that life should be valued and suicide
is wrong, others see it as a selfish act, a cowardly act, others as a brave thing to do
– but there is one opinion we believe everyone shares and that is one that states
that if there are steps we can take to reduce the number of suicides and suicide
attempts in society, then we should look to adopt these steps and start building
Suicide Safer communities for a brighter tomorrow.
So a number of approaches have been brought together by Forward For Life in
partnership with Common Unity under the name of SOS. We feel that through
community action, learning, campaigning, active use of social media, lobbying and
influence we will all eventually not only see the elephant and openly admit to seeing
it, but also all know how to get it out of the room!

Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
The Issue of Suicide
Suicide is one of the last big taboos' in modern day society; a phenomenon that
effects so many people in our communities in so many ways and yet has not been
tackled by our communities. This needs to change.
In the last 45 years suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide. Suicide is now
among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15-44 (male and
female). Suicide attempts are up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicides.
Although suicide rates had traditionally been highest amongst elderly males, rates
among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the
group at highest risk in a third of all countries.
There are many factors that are associated with suicide including social factors,
cultural factors, economic crisis, work stresses, mental health difficulties, family
issues, substance misuse, sexual orientation, individual crisis and bullying.
In Britain, each year, more than 6000 people kill themselves; that’s 4000 more
deaths per year than occur on all our roads.
Yet suicide remains a taboo subject that most people won’t entertain talking about
it, never mind feeling able to support someone who they think might be considering
taking their own life.
In 2011, the suicide rate in the U.K. drastically shot up, reaching a 7 year high.

Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
The Human Cost of Suicide
It is important to recognise the impact of Suicide and the human cost is much greater
than just the reported suicides.
With reference to LivingWorks research and evidence, Forward For Life in partnership
with Common Unity undertook a conservative calculation of the impact of suicide for
the West Midlands as part of the launch of the SOS Campaign in Birmingham
(September 2013).
The Financial Cost of Suicide
Suicide is emotionally costly - its effects have far reaching consequences on
individuals, families, friends, communities and our society as a whole.
The coalition government looked to start to address suicide through the publication
of Preventing Suicide in England – A cross-government outcomes strategy to save
lives on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) in 2012. The impact of this
outcomes strategy though has been compromised greatly by the very fact that local
suicide prevention strategies do not have to be implemented – they are not
mandatory – austerity measures have further challenged Health and Social Care

regarding direct investment in suicide prevention both strategically and
operationally.
However, putting a price on a life is impossible – the value of life cannot be calculated
and should not be calculated which makes such decisions by our local authorities as
to what services need to flourish and which need to be put on the "back burner" very
hard decisions indeed. Decision makers have to take into consideration a range of
health and social care pressures and the cost benefit of implementing specific
approaches.
Even though we shouldn't even contemplate putting a price on life, we can calculate
what the financial costs to society the act of suicide has.
The SOS Campaign Launch in Birmingham allowed for the overarching financial costs
to society of Suicidal Behaviour based on the known number of suicides within the
West Midlands in 2011 using a costing formula developed by the North East Mental
Health Development Unit in 2009 as follows:
6. “Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse.
Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
One Solution
Suicide is a major issue and it's increasing – In England it is a sad fact that every 2
hours a person dies by their own hand.
When someone takes their own life, the effect on the family, friends, the local
community and the wider community is devastating – An immeasurable impact.
In 2011, according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics, the
suicide rate in the U.K. drastically shot up, reaching a 7 year high. The 8% increase
in the number of suicides from 2010 to 2011 highlights the effects that times of
financial hardship is having on our communities.
Forward or Life and Common Unity believe that suicide prevention requires a range
of approaches to be effective. One of the key approaches is through the delivery of
training that looks to strengthen the knowledge base, the skill base and the resilience
levels within and across our communities for all community members both in a
professional context and general population context.
safeTALK and ASIST are two internationally recognised and respected approaches
that engage communities with the myriad of challenges that suicide brings and
enables communities to play a vital interventionist role regarding suicidal thought.
This approach is warranted on the premise that the majority of services either work
from a preventative approach or a reactive approach – the interventionist area is to
an extent picked up within some front-line health and social care professions and
alluded to in services such as helplines as provided by organisations such as the
Samaritans. However, front line services only engage with the distress of an
individual upon referral of that individual, and helplines have a clear mandate
regarding their approach being a “listening service.” safeTALK and ASIST bridge this
gap by equipping communities with the necessary skills and knowledge to identify
and where appropriate provide suicide first aid to individuals who are considering
taking their life by suicide.
7. “Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse.
Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
What is safeTALK?
safeTALK is a half-day course that offers you practical steps to help someone with
thoughts of suicide and helps you both to connect with more specialised support.
The safeTALK course was developed by LivingWorks in Canada and is delivered
worldwide. It complements the more comprehensive 2 day ASIST course by widening
the net of suicide alert helpers to ensure that thoughts of suicide aren't missed,
dismissed or avoided.
Through attending the safeTALK course, delegates will know what to do if someone's
suicidal through following the easy to remember TALK steps - Tell, Ask, Listen and
Keep-safe. These practical steps offer immediate help to someone having thoughts
of suicide and helps you both move forward to connect with more specialised support.
The safeTALK course is based on the principles of maximum dissemination and
minimum cost.
8. “Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse.
Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.”
What is ASIST?
Approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Applied Suicide Intervention
Skills Training is a standardised, certified programme teaching a robust model of
suicide intervention with 6 easy-to-remember steps. Over one million people
worldwide have been trained in ASIST.
ASIST is a comprehensive two day course which enables communities to become
more willing, ready and able to help persons at risk of suicide. Developed by
LivingWorks in Canada and delivered world-wide, it is an interactive and practical
course proven to help caregivers learn how to identify risk and intervene to prevent
the immediate risk of suicide.
The Preventing Suicide in England: A cross-government outcomes strategy to save
lives (2012) recognises the value of high quality training and development in a bid
to reduce suicide rates stating that interventions that raise suicide awareness or
training programmes that teach people how to recognise and respond to the warning
signs for suicide in themselves or in others are effectively being delivered in a variety
of settings including schools, colleges, workplaces and community settings.
The Independent Commission on Mental Health and Policing Report 2013 recognised
that training in mental health and suicide prevention was lacking in the police force
and identified ASIST as a well evaluated training programme. One of the

recommendations in this report states “Suicide prevention training and guidance
must be put in place immediately with the advice and assistance of external
stakeholders”.
Why ASIST?
ASIST was developed by LivingWorks in Calgary, Canada, in the early 1980s and
since then over one million people in 22 countries have been trained.
Evaluations of ASIST have shown that it is popular with participants and results in
changes in knowledge, attitudes and skills. It has also been shown to have an
impact in intervention behaviour.
You can find out more facts about the impact of suicide and how ASIST may be one
solution by reading "Suicide and ASIST: An Overarching Programme Briefing"
ASIST has been implemented in Scotland and an evaluation of its use and impact
there, based on an internet survey with 534 respondents, concluded that it had
been successful in raising awareness of suicide and increasing the body of people
with intervention skills.
ASIST has been recognised within the most recent evaluation undertaken in Wales
identifying that
“The rollout of ASIST is making a positive contribution towards suicide prevention within
Wales. It is raising awareness and creating a greater understanding and acceptance that
prevention of suicide is everybody’s business.”

communities (e.g. Homeless, Substance Misuse), Service User Forums, health sector
commissioners, the private healthcare sector and social workers.
Standardised evaluations to date has assured us through the feedback received that
the course had been of significant benefit in supporting them to become more ready,
willing and able to identify and help people in the community with suicidal thoughts.
Since the delivery of ASIST via Forward For Life and Common Unity in and around
Birmingham there have been a number of occasions when through utilisation of the
skills learned on ASIST, trainees believe they have been successful in saving a life.
One such testimonial was by Mark Peters of Start Again C.I.C who stated
Is that it? Absolutely not!
Common Unity Social Enterprise and Forward For Life are not solely training providers
in suicide prevention. At the heart of what we do is a drive for working with
communities to support society to be Suicide Safer. This includes the SOS campaign
development and roll-out, organisational support, resource development, tailored
campaigning support, marketing, lobbying and wider suicide prevention strategic
input.
When you engage with SOS and its founders, you engage with a whole movement
that strives for making Suicide Safer communities a reality. We are not a one trick
pony.
Start Again Project CiC, recently undertook the ASIST training for our
management and support workers, we have been able to put the training to use
straight away and have supported young people. Without the training suicide is
a subject that we as a team felt was a taboo subject but now have the confidence
to ask questions and give support.
