Events

Join us for a public event on the third anniversary of the death of Daniel Willgoss, who was 25 when he took his own life.

Daniel’s mum, Sue, is now employed by NSFT as an advisor on suicide prevention. Sue will share her experience of the impact of suicide on families and what we can all learn from Daniel’s death.

You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from:

• James Woolnough, from Suffolk User Forum, 
• Tim Allard from support group Menscraft,
• Nick Little, from the 12^th Man, a project which encourages men to talk about their feelings when they are at the barbers, gym, pub or having a tattoo
• Michael Jenkins, mental health nurse, who has personal experience of suicide and depression.
• Diane Hull, NSFT’s chief nurse
• Robyn Ward, NSFT People Participation Lead, and,
• Liz Howlett, suicide prevention lead at NSFT.

The number of men who end their own lives through suicide has been increasing in recent years. Men aged 45 to 49 have the highest rate of suicide, according to the Samaritans.

We hope that by joining this event you will gain the tools and confidence to have those difficult conversations about suicide.
