Understandably, we may feel extremely cautious about how to approach or talk to someone who is having suicidal thoughts; we may be worried about saying or doing the 'wrong thing' - and this often creates a barrier to helping. In this comprehensive guidebook, Joy Hibbins (the founder of an award-winning Suicide Crisis Centre which has attracted international attention) shares her invaluable experience of helping people through suicidal crisis. This book will show you how to: * Understand the complexity of suicidal feelings and what may lead to a crisis * Be aware of factors that can increase someone's risk of suicide * Directly ask someone about suicidal thoughts * Build empathy and a strong connection with the individual in crisis * Learn strategies to support someone and help them survive The fact that you care, and you want to help, can make such a difference to someone who is in need of support. All royalties donated to the charity Suicide Crisis.
Joy Hibbins is the founder and chief executive of charity Suicide Crisis. Their crisis centre has attracted national and international interest because of its zero-suicide achievement: there has never been a suicide of a client under their care. Joy has given evidence about their work to a UK parliamentary select committee, and their work has fed into the Ministry of Health's new suicide prevention strategy in New Zealand. Joy has personal experience of suicide crisis, which prompted her to open the centre in 2012. In 2019 she received the British Empire Medal for services to vulnerable people in the Queen's New Year Honours List. She is regularly asked to comment on issues relating to suicide and suicide prevention in the national press, including appearances on the BBC and Sky News and articles in the Guardian and the Telegraph. Joy currently resides in Gloucestershire.
