Summit 2006


In February, Choose Life Co-ordinators were joined by suicide prevention trainers, local and national partners to share experience and knowledge of the groundbreaking work being carried out in communities throughout Scotland to prevent suicide.

The two day event included a diverse range of presentations on aspects of Choose Life and on partner activities, which generated much discussion around the key challenges ahead. Theatre Nemo entertained everyone with their "huge bag of worries" whilst media volunteer Jay Brownlee shared her personal experience of suicide with the group.

A marketplace session proved to be the ideal opportunity for delegates to share experience, learn from others and enthuse and inspire them to face the many challenges ahead.

Thank you to everyone who took part for their energy and insights, and their willingness to share experience and learn from others.
