World #SuicidePrevention Day. Suicide is a global problem - an estimated 700,000 take their own lives each year. Fuelled by poverty, abuse, mental ill-health, isolation. Prevention is possible, urgent & a shared task. #WSPD2024

There's so much strain & moral distress. Just pretending things are ok when they're not is like a parent ignoring an upset child or saying "oh you're fine, it's not so bad". Not containing at all. Where's containment going to come from? Where's the care for what really matters?

A further graphic that makes the powerful point that we have to think differently about "failure" if we want to build psychological safety for high performance in our teams & organisations. It's inspired by @AmyCEdmondson. The ideas are further developed in her latest book "Right kind of wrong". Graphic by @Adrien_Liard via @TheQI_Guy.
