SUMMARY:World Suïcide Preventie Week (WSPW) - The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:From 8 to 14 September\, the Netherlands marks World Suicide Prevention Week (WSPW) — a week devoted to raising extra awareness about suicide prevention. Sadly\, this remains urgently needed: every 45 seconds\, someone\, somewhere in the world\, dies by suicide. In the Netherlands\, suicide claims the lives of more than 1\,850 people every year\, which equals five lives every day. These numbers will only go down if we do this together.   \nFinding the words.\nTalking about suicide isn’t easy\, and searching for the right words can be difficult — but it can make a life-changing difference to someone struggling with suicidal thoughts. How do you start that conversation? What words do you use? It may take courage and some searching. That’s why this week we call on everyone: find the words. Because with words\, we can help each other. Will you join us?  \nThroughout the week\, a variety of activities and campaigns will take place across the country\, including:  \n\nWearing the suicide prevention ribbon \n\n\n44 “Walk into the Light” walks throughout the Netherlands \n\n\nHappy Little Moments activation campaign \n\n\nSamen Sterk conferences (11 September) \n\n\nDaily webinars \n\n\nSuicide prevention trainings \n\n\nSchool tour \n\n\nMan in Mind Meet-up \n\n\nFundraising activities for the 113 Fund \n\n\nAwareness campaigns \n\n\nHundreds of initiatives in the Netherlands \n\n

SUMMARY:Annual Candlelit walk with poetry for World Suicide Prevention Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our annual walk from Sabrina Bridge in Worcester to the main bridge\, as usual on the nearest Saturday to World Suicide Prevention Day\, with stops for poetry along the way\, we will end with a name call to show there are names behind the vast numbers. \nThis year as we normally facilitate walks on Wednesday evenings\, and Wednesday 10th Sept is world suicide prevention day\, we will run two events\, it made sense to combine our regular walk with this event. \nSo\, join us on Saturday 6th and Wednesday 10th September\, for a short walk between two bridges\, with poetry along the way\, and remember loved ones names at the end.  \n\nLanterns and lights will be provided\, however to save on costs\, if you have one from previous years please bring one along. \n\nWe will meet at Sabrina Bridge\, Worcester\, at 7pm after a talk and a poem we will set off for a walk\, with stops along the way to read poetry and read out names at the end.\n\n\nIf anyone wants to write any poetry or suggest something meaningful\, please let us know. If you are willing to read on the night it would be a pleasure to hear you. \nPlease email us your poems to info@behindthesmile.care

Attitudes are shifting\, behaviours are improving\, and understanding is growing. But the journey is far from over\, with suicide rates in the sector still one of the highest. \nMental health isn’t just about raising awareness or signposting support.

And where are we heading? \nWorkshop aims: \nJoin us for a strategic and interactive online workshop where we’ll explore the current landscape and future direction of mental health in construction. Together with your peers\, you will: \n\nReflect on how far we’ve come.\nIdentify the key challenges and priorities we still face.\nShare insights\, strategies\, best practices and experiences.\nIdentify\, discuss and agree how to align your legal duty of care around stress management with bottom-line business performance.\nHelp shape the path forward to reduce suicide in the sector.\n\nWho should attend: \nWhether you’re a leader\, HR professional\, site manager\, or advocate\, this is your chance to help build a healthier\, more supportive future for everyone in construction. \nHost: \n\nMartin Lockham\, Head of Engagement\, Mates in Mind.\nStephen Haynes\, Wellbeing Consultancy Director\, British Safety Council.\n\nPlease note: \n\nIf you are interested in this workshop\, but do not work in construction\, please email support@matesinmind.org\, including the title of the workshop in the subject line and the sector you work in in the body of the email and we will put on additional events if/when we have sufficient registered interest.\nIf you would like to submit a question before the workshop\, please send it to: support@matesinmind.org before 1pm on Monday 1 September and include the name of the workshop in the subject line.\nWe recommend early booking as places on this workshop are limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis.\nOnce you have booked a place\, please block the time out in your diary. You will receive an invitation to join a Teams call a week before the event.\nWe will also send an email 24 hours before the workshop to confirm your attendance. This is to allow those on the waiting list the opportunity to attend should you not be able to.\nIf this event is full\, please add your name to the waitlist.

SUMMARY:Holding Space: Beginning Conversations on Understanding Suicide Prevention
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10)\, this workshop\, HOLDING SPACE: Beginning Conversations on Understanding Suicide Prevention\, invites participants to reflect on suicide not as a matter for professionals alone but as a shared human concern. Drawing on clinical\, community\, and educational experience\, the session seeks to bridge the gap between care and confidence—helping participants move from uncertainty to compassionate readiness. Through myth-busting\, recognition of warning signs\, ethical engagement\, and careful referral practices\, we will explore how ordinary acts of listening and presence can be life-affirming. The workshop emphasizes that while it is not a substitute for therapy or clinical training\, it provides an ethically grounded\, culturally sensitive space to build awareness\, deepen understanding\, and strengthen the collective capacity for prevention. \nThe certificates which will be provided to participants do not represent a clinical qualification; rather\, it acknowledges the courage and commitment to engaging with one of the most difficult yet vital topics in mental health.\nFor Professional / Healthcare Audience: “This workshop is intended as an educational program on suicide prevention. While we will discuss about evidence-based approaches\, this session does not replace formal supervision\, crisis intervention protocols\, or confer any additional clinical qualification. Please view it as a supplement to your professional learning\, not as a certification to independently provide suicide-specific interventions beyond your current scope of practice.” For General Public / Student Audience: “This workshop is designed to raise awareness and build basic skills in recognizing warning signs and connecting people to help. It is not therapy\, it does not provide clinical training\, and it does not qualify participants as mental health professionals. The aim is to empower you to support others through listening\, compassion\, care and referral to appropriate services\, not to take on the role of a clinician.\nRegistration link :\n\nhttps://forms.office.com/r/Mg7g1TiNBm \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants can expect to co-create understanding related to the following** \n\nMyths with understanding\, warning signs.\nContextual underpinnings and build confidence in everyday contexts.\nHow to stay present with someone’s pain while acknowledging the limits of one’s own role.\nSafety planning for self and others as well.\nBridge the way toward professional help for those in need.\n\nInternationally and nationally endorsed suicide prevention-related resources will be shared. \n\nEthical & Safety Grounding \n\nAll discussions will be guided by established ethical frameworks of suicide prevention.\nTrigger-awareness will be maintained\, with grounding and self-care breaks.\nCrisis helpline numbers and referral pathways will be provided at the beginning and end of the session.\nParticipants will be encouraged to engage at their comfort level\n**The certificates which will be provided to participants do not represent a clinical qualification; rather\, it acknowledges the courage and commitment to engaging with one of the most difficult yet vital topics in mental health. \n\n\nFacilitator\nSudhanya Roy Chowdhury\nClinical Psychologist (RCI)\nIndividual with Lived-Experience\nProfessional Member\, Clinical Psychology Society of India\nThis workshop is hosted under “CoCreation – A Mental Health Care and Academic Initiative” \nRegistration Fees\nFor students and individuals who are not employed currently from LMIC: 149 INR\nFor professionals and service holders from LMIC :399 INR\nFor students and individuals who are not employed currently from HIC: 6 USD/ 5 Euro/ 4.5 GBP/500INR\nFor professionals and service holders from HIC: 12 USD/10 Euro/ 9GBP/1000INR\nFor further fee-related discussion feel free to connect over email/call/ text\nLet’s hold space\, together. \nRegistration link: http://bit.ly/3Vc1fhP

SUMMARY:"MINK UŽ GYVENIMĄ" Challenge
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Vilnius – Europos Žalioji sostinė 2025 – we organized a physical activity challenge via the Strava app (https://www.strava.com/clubs/1392393/group_events/2134990). As part of the initiative\, participants were invited to trace the shape of a bicycle – the symbol of suicide prevention – on the map\, creating a powerful visual message through movement. Every kilometer walked\, run\, or cycled symbolizes support for those affected by suicide risk. \nParticipants have the opportunity to win invitations to the final commemorative event. \nSeptember 10 – Two-Part Commemoration Program: \nPart I: PRESS CONFERENCE \nTopic: “Support for those bereaved by suicide – a vital part of suicide prevention.”\nThe conference will focus on how to ensure systematic\, accessible support for individuals who have lost loved ones to suicide – and how such support contributes to overall prevention efforts.\nExperts in the field will share insights and experiences working with bereaved individuals\, as well as different forms of effective support. \nDuring the conference\, we will also present findings from a representative national survey exploring the importance of suicide prevention in today’s context. The study investigates: \n\nAccess to emotional support\nExperiences with suicide-related disclosures in one’s close environment\nPublic responses to recognizing suicide risk\nAwareness and availability of prevention resources\n\nPart II: FINAL COMMEMORATIVE EVENT – STAND-UP “PRASMEI IR BEPRASMYBEI” \nFor the second year in a row\, we invite the public to explore this important topic through art.\nThis unique stand-up show delves into life\, loss\, and mental health as a means to raise awareness and foster empathy.
