Resource Database


The resource database is the Choose Life website's fully searchable portal of knowledge, giving visitors access to training manuals, websites, guidance documents leaflets, manuals and more in the field of suicide and mental health.

The database was developed in direct response to calls by those working in the field to pull together information on the range of materials/resources available.

 



Adding a Resource

For the Resource Database to be up-to-date and of value, we are committed to making sure that it continues to grow over time. Therefore, please provide us with information on resources that you feel should be added.


If you are interested in initiatives and projects, rather than resources, visit the Local Choose Life Action Plan homepage where details of Choose Life supported-activity can be viewed.

 Featured Resource

 

 A useful handbook, What's the Story, Reporting Mental Health and Suicide, has been launched which tackles how the media handle such sensitive issues.

         What's the Story, Reporting Mental Health and Suicide

Packed with facts, figures and contacts, the handbook provides guidance for journalists on how they can make a real difference to the lives of millions of people who are affected by mental illness. It provides advice on how to avoid reporting suicides in a way that tragically can – and does – result in people killing themselves in copycat incidents.
