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 member of the Strathclyde community and there will be separate sessions for staff and students. In the creation of safe spaces for discussion within each group, confidentiality is paramount. The Canmore Trust will be working independently of the University and no aspect of group discussions will be shared with the University.

The group will then run at the same time 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 just turn up! However, if you would like to discuss any of the above or require more information, please contact The Canmore Trust at: the.canmore.trust@btinternet.com

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.
