Pathways for Alcohol Issues and Suicidal Ideation Project
The Suicide Prevention Consortium is currently recruiting for their latest project “Pathways for Alcohol Issues and Suicidal Ideation”, which aims to improve support for people seeking support for alcohol use and suicidal thoughts/feelings/attempts.
The purpose of this project is to build on our work over the last two years, where we repeatedly found that there are still many barriers stopping people from accessing mental health and alcohol services. The consortium wants to listen to people with these experiences to improve our understanding and share our insights with people in a position to improve support in this area. We want to identify in more detail what these barriers are, how they appear to those experiencing them, when they are experienced, and how they can be overcome.
As part of this project, we will be conducting a questionnaire and one to one remote interviews with people who have lived experience of suicidal thoughts/feelings/attempts and alcohol issues, and of seeking support for one or both of these issues. Interviews will be conducted in October and November 2023.
