The Last Photo Exhibition
×
Derbyshire Voluntary Actions Mental Health Liaison Service and The Georgia Bird Foundation are very proud to be working in collaboration with SoBS Chesterfield, The Tomorrow Project, Mentell, Kakou and a number of amazing volunteers to hold an impactful exhibition, sharing real life local stories around mental health and suicide in a safe and supportive space. The event will also be highlighting the power of art and creativity in supporting people’s mental health and will be showcasing the wonderful work of our mental health community sector.
The event has been inspired and supported by CALM’s Last Photo exhibition in London, which saw the displaying of peoples last photos before taking their lives. CALM’s event has raised so many important questions around how suicide doesn’t always look suicidal, and how we can spot signs of when people may be struggling.
Our community exhibition will take place from 5 September until World Suicide Prevention Day on the 10th September from 10am to 3pm at Derbyshire Voluntary Actions Hub @ Low Pavement. On Saturday the 10th September we will be holding a public living room in front of the large screen at Vicar Lane, where members of the public can chat to mental health workers about mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

About this event
This year we are charging conference places at £60 per head. As a small service ourselves, we want to ensure that our conference remains as accessible as we can for as many people as possible. Our £60 charge offers value for money for quality expert speakers in the field of suicide prevention/postvention, allowing us to recuperate a small amount of the overall administration cost for the conference, to go back into our services.

To apply for a free conference place, please email us training@harmless.org.uk and we will send you an application form. All applications will be considered by Harmless Management.

The field of suicide bereavement is a particularly specialist area. When we start talking about suicide it can be surprising how many others have a story to tell. So many of us are impacted by suicide either through the tragic loss of a loved one, someone we once worked with, someone in our community, a patient, or someone very supportive. Everyone has a story.
We are hosting our third online Suicide Bereavement conference to examine the practical application of working in the field of suicide bereavement, split over 8 live webinars during the month of World Suicide Prevention Day.
The programme is designed to help those of us working with anyone impacted by suicide to improve our knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to suicide bereavement. Delegates can expect to take away from the conference a range of knowledge, inspiration and practical applications for the implementation in real life personal and professional situations. Learning from some of the leaders in the field, delegates will have access to interactive sessions that can drive change in the field of suicide bereavement.
Introducing our confirmed speakers and sessions…
• Domestic Homicide Review and Suicide Bereavement--Christine Graham & Sarah Kessling (Christine Graham Consultancy & Harmless)
• Suicide Bereavement in the military: #AskTwice programme – Leanne Moulton & Tom Garrett (Harmless and The Tomorrow Project)
