A powerful day culminating in an afternoon focusing around the orange button community scheme and su***de prevention and intervention across Blackburn with Darwen ๐ ๐
The ICB have listened to feedback and created a new and improved OBCS packs, so today I dropped off replacement packs with two men who have led the way in su***de prevention - particularly in Darwen for many years . Pictured is Mark Dixon, who attended safeTALK some years ago and is gearing up to attend his refresher very soon . Counsellor Brian Taylor had recently attended ASIST and is a safeTALK advocate and passionate OBCS advocate .
If you are interested in โ waking the talk โ and joining the community revolution around su***de prevention - see details within the post of the next fully funded training available for anyone aged over 15 who lives , volunteers, is in education or works across Blackburn with Darwen .
Su***de is everybodyโs business ๐
