Nina Indeed Nina.

#SuicidePrevention programmes for Secondary #schools were being developed in #Australia by people like Orygen when I was living there in 2019.

They’re established now & moving into Primary #education

Why is Department for Education dragging its feet?

Absolutely, Paul. The difference in school mental health provision between here and Australia was incredible. Ring-fenced budgets, numerous mental health staff, evidence-based programmes being delivered to students by experts. We must follow their lead and do better 🙌🇦🇺🇬🇧

Amazing 👏 congratulations!

Itv part 2 tonight, featuring my The Churchill Fellowship work in Australia and how this aligns with the amazing campaign by 3DadsWalking 🥰 and LMJU schools trial 👏

4 weeks until the USA 🇺🇸 to learn more about suicide prevention strategies in schools 🙌

There’s another point about the NW. In 2023 the rate jumped by 19%, a huge single year rise.

Almost half the national increase of 295 deaths occurred in this one region. That seems inherently implausible.

The NW now has the highest regional rate, overtaking the NE.

Starting with the 9 regions that make up England.

Almost 90% of the 2023 national suicide ⬆️ came from only 3 regions.

Large rises were seen in North-east, North-west & East of England. Plus a smaller rise in East Midlands.

5 regions, with 2/3 of the population, saw no rise.
