Your guide to planning a safe suicide prevention event

Checklist - Safe Communication

I’ve read and understood this resource and am using appropriate language (check page 12 ).

The information I’m providing to promote my event/at my event is factually correct and I’m using official data. I’ve used content warnings on promotional material that communicate the subject of suicide will be discussed at the event e.g. “This event will discuss suicide and could be distressing for some people.” I’m not using distressing or stigmatising imagery, or images that glorify or romanticise suicide. I’ll avoid making blanket statements (e.g. there is no community help, the health system is broken, there is a suicide epidemic, no one is talking about suicide). I’ve informed relevant local agencies that I’m planning to hold this event. These could include police and council as well as local mental health and suicide prevention support services.
