Ep 261: Suicide Research with Heather McClelland
Aug 22, 2022, 05:00 AM
Mick is joined by Heather McClelland on this week's Podcast.
Heather (soon to be Dr Heather) is a doctoral student and research assistant at the University of Glasgow.
She and Mick discuss her suicide research, and what research is telling us about suicide here in the UK. They also discuss loneliness and the impact it can have on our physical and mental health.
Heather discusses community-based responses as part of a strategy to bring down suicide numbers in a sustainable way, and her own pre-conceptions about where her research might lead.
Notes: Heather references Surviving Suicidal Thoughts in the podcast as well as the work of the NSPLG and the Scotland consultation on a new suicide prevention strategy
