Chasing the Stigma and Social Finance have published a new research brief focused on supporting suicide prevention efforts across London. Read the full brief here.
The brief outlines upcoming commissioned research into help seeking behaviours among at risk communities in North West London, with a focus on understanding who is currently invisible to mental health and suicide prevention services, the barriers they face, and how tools such as the Hub of Hope and associated data insights can better support timely access to help.
This work will sit alongside wider data and digital development within the partnership, and Chasing the Stigma want to ensure it is grounded in strong local insight and trusted community relationships. They are inviting proposals from community based research partners with relevant experience across North West London boroughs.
