Welcome to Time Space Compassion, a podcast from Suicide Prevention Scotland.
In each episode of this limited edition series we’re exploring three important words that are a key part of the Scottish Government’s new suicide prevention strategy, Creating Hope Together.
In episode three we discuss the important role that lived experience and peer support plays in the co-production suicide prevention workstreams.
Lawrence Broadie is joined by Louise Christie, Director at Scottish Recovery Network, Jane Cumming from Penumbra, SAMH’s Robert Nesbitt, Rebecca Hoffman from LGBT Health and Wellbeing, Kerry Smith from the Glasgow Complex Needs Project and Sharon Thomas, Operations Manager, The Lighthouse Perth.
