ALT Sounddelivery Media presents: A conversation on Suicide
It’s a wrap! Thank you to my accomplice, the wonderful human @SJMcDonn for creating such an uplifting and inspiring event full of insight and compassion, and inviting me to deliver the opening keynote at #SBUKconf23. Here’s to counting down to #SBUKconf24#TimetoCount#StandbyMe
Important data being presented by @DrCathrynRodway from @OfficialUoM at #sbukconf23 about increased suicide and self-harm rates in young people in recent years. We need to collect data on childhood suicide bereavement as this does not currently happen in UK. #TimeToCount
It saddens me I am still fighting for support for my babies especially my youngest who were 2 & 5 the day our lives changed forever! @annawardley you give me hope! I thank you for that @teamlunaorg #SBUKconf23#StandByMe#TimetoCount
Great to see that the suicide bereavement guides for the armed forces will be launched later in 2023, such important resources, and great to hear there’s guidance for supporting children in military families. #timetocount

Interesting read, well done shedding light on an important issue that often goes undiscussed. Your words touched me deeply. I know all too well about the lack of support for children who have lost a parent to suicide. @annawardley#TimeToCount#SuicidePreventionMonth

Losing my dad to suicide as a child shaped me as a person and was the motivation to carry out international @ChurchillFship research on parental suicide and set up @teamlunaorg to improve support for other children who lose a parent or primary caregiver to suicide. #timetocount
"I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't lost my dad."
For their guest edit, Hannah from 'Good Grief' speaks to the former England Cricket Captain Andrew Strauss about accepting the 'positive' turns life can take when someone dies.

Was an honour to carry the Baton of Hope in Milton Keynes yesterday on behalf of @teamlunaorg and all children who have lost a parent to suicide. Together we will find the light in the darkness. #TimeToCount
