Join us at the South West London Suicide Prevention Conference 2024
Join us at the Trust's and SWL ICB suicide prevention conference on 11 September 2024
The South-West London Integrated Care Board suicide prevention programme and South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust have joined forces in hosting this year’s suicide prevention conference - a yearly commitment within our own Suicide Prevention Strategy.
Join us as we learn from local and national experts and celebrate good practise within our boroughs on suicide prevention. We aim to smash the stigma around suicide: everyone has a part to play!
The conference will be held in person at the Everyday Church, 30 Queens Road, London SW19 8LR on Wednesday 11 September 2024 from 9.30am – 4.30pm. Light refreshments will be provided. Some speakers will join remotely, and we aim to produce videos of moderated parts of the conference after the event, but the only way to take part is to come in person – so please come!
