The Canmore Trust Safe Space staff session
The Canmore Trust are facilitating ‘Safe Space’ sessions at the University of Strathclyde for anyone who has been impacted by suicide at any point in their lives – whether recent or distant.
The sessions will be hosted by The Canmore Trust’s ‘Experienced Friends’. Experienced Friends are people with personal experience of the impact of suicide and who have undergone additional training, including Leading First Aid for Mental Health. They are also experienced in group facilitation.
The groups are open to any student or staff member of any university or college in Glasgow. In the creation of safe spaces for discussion within each group, confidentiality is paramount. The Canmore Trust will be working independently, and no aspect of group discussions will be shared with the Universities or colleges.
The group will run online at 6:15pm on the last Tuesday of each month and we will keep this information regularly updated.
There is no need to book for the sessions, please contact The Canmore Trust at: admin@thecanmoretrust.co.uk for the online link to join.
Please also know that if you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, help is always available. The national helplines are available 24/7: Samaritans on 116 123 and Papyrus on 0800 068 4141. The Canmore Trust also has a 24/7 confidential texting service, please text CANMORE to 85258.
