Welcome to the Creating Hope podcast, powered by Public Health Scotland & Suicide Prevention Scotland.
In each episode of this limited edition series we’re exploring a key area of work within suicide prevention, and how this can be implemented locally.
In this first episode, we explore working with those who have lived and living experience of suicide.
Our host, Susie Heywood (Suicide Prevention Implementation Support Lead, Public Health Scotland) is joined by Keir McKechnie (Lived and Living Experience Panel Coordinator with SAMH), Catriona McDougall (Project Coordinator with Scottish Recovery Network) and Laura Junor (Member of the Suicide Prevention Scotland Lived and Living Experience Panel).
