Suicide Mitigation: Aiming to Combine
Compassion and Governance in a HE
setting
Quote from Kevin Hines
“If you come across someone who appears to be in obvious mental, physical
or emotional pain, please don't hesitate to ask the questions:
Are you ok? Is something wrong? and Can I help you?
These questions would have stopped me trying to end my life in the year
2000. You could save a life today."
“I’ve got one of yours here.”
Which one?

Anyone can experience emotional distress or mental health problems. The important thing is to know that you can get through tough times and know how to seek support. Emotional
intensity will pass and those stresses that are building your emotional intensity can be heard and resolved. This will pass, and this will get better.
Here are some resources that you might want to access in order for you to gain some immediate support and immediate hope.

• Feedback from training
– “Very informative and I feel equipped to provide a valuable response”
– “Very open, our facilitators were so passionate about this work, and gave me real
confidence to know I can make a difference: lots of practical and helpful FACTS
with an honest approach”
– “The first meaningful CPD I have had in years as a staff member I am really so
proud that our university is offering this to staff: thank you
– “Open discussion on a taboo and serious subject: I have a framework I can now
relate to”
– I loved the focus on my wellbeing as a staff member too- I feel valued and realise
we are all in this together – my own safety plan is something I will continue to
develop
– “I am bowled over, I feel as though I have allowed Clare in to my head today,
which felt uncomfortable at first; but as the day progressed this training and how it
was facilitated has helped me to realize I am not alone or abnormal, I am worth a
damn
