Have you attended the Emergency Department in support of a friend or family member?

We are looking for family members or friends of individuals who have experience of self-harm or suicidal ideation, who have attended the Emergency Department with them in times of crisis.

If you have attended the Emergency Department under these circumstances, would you be interested in sharing your views with a group in a quiet confidential space to help improve care?

We want to explore your opinions on an intervention and to identify potential barriers to implementation. Your views and experiences will help us to develop a psychological intervention to reduce repeat self-harm and improve mental health and quality of life.

If you decide to take part, you will be asked to attend a discussion group in London. Participation will involve a one-off meeting of up to two hours.

You will be compensated with a £20 voucher for your time, although we are unable to pay travel expenses.

You can contact Sally O’Keeffe for more information on:

  1. Known quite a number of suicides because of LGBT related issues. Would like to be able to be supportive in that particular area.
    Let me know your thoughts.
