Suicide risk assessment and intervention for mental health professional in Zahle

In the lead up to World Suicide Prevention Day, I'm going to share some of the common myths about suicide that I talk about in #WhenItIsDarkest Here's myth #1 Those who talk about suicide are not at risk of suicide #WSPD2022 #SuicideMyths

Self-stigma will stop us from reaching out for help when we need it.

Unambiguous conclusion on risk assessment tools in today’s NICE guidance on self-harm. Don’t use them. Risk is individual, complex, dynamic & can’t be reduced to a number. Assessment should be personal, collaborative, leading to a practical plan to keep safe.

Integrity, Transparency, Accountability, Justice, Freedom & Merit - preaching these values in public and breaking them in private is the single most accurate depiction of everything wrong in this country and our plague for yet generations to come #LebanonInATweet

After many months of silent reflection, I share some personal experiences in #DeirElQamar tomorrow on challenges against women playing their natural role as drivers of change and peace builders and what stands in the way of keeping their voices loud & fighting for our #Lebanon

During the second day of the 18th lifeline training for emotional support and suicide prevention

Despite the intense sadness and anxiety we are feeling due to the earthquake that shook the grounds of Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, physically and emotionally, we stand here to train more volunteers for the lifeline, willing to support all those in need on a 24/7 basis.

Si tu viens, par exemple, à quatre heures de l’après-midi, dès trois heures je commencerai d’être heureux. Plus l’heure avancera, plus je me sentirai heureux.

When we support a person who is suicidal do we see them for who they are or do we see a risk that needs fixing? Take a minute to think about it.
