Join Dr Susie Bennett, psychologist and research fellow at the University of Glasgow, whose work focuses specifically on male suicide risk and recovery factors.
On 22 November, Dr Bennett will host a special knowledge-sharing event at the Foundry in Vauxhall to share key findings from her work, and is extending an invitation to anyone who might find it valuable to attend. The event will also be live-streamed for anyone who can’t come in person.
Date: Friday, November 22, 2024
Time: 10:15 – 17:00
Location: The Foundry, Social Justice and Human Rights Centre, 17 Oval Way, London, SE11 5RR
The event will explore:
Societal Pressures: How do societal expectations heighten some men’s loneliness, feelings of failure and emotional suppression?
Accessing help: What are some of the unseen barriers preventing men from getting support and how can we collectively dismantle them?
Childhood Challenges: What is the relationship between certain challenges in childhood and men’s suicide risk?
Practical Support: How can we better support men in crisis, including addressing the empathy gap in how society understands and responds to men’s pain?
Dr Bennett will be joined by a panel of community experts and health professionals who work with men who are suicidal. They will share insights on effective strategies and necessary changes to better support men in crisis.
