World Mental Health Day: join a free Zero Suicide Alliance online training session |
Join the final training session in our series to learn how to spot warning signs, start a conversation and help someone find support.
Taking place on Friday, 16 October, 1pm-2.30pm (following World Mental Health Day).
The session will include a live Q&A, giving you space to ask questions, explore real‑world challenges, and build confidence in supportive communication.
We have been hearing about how the training is translating into real action and impact for those who have participated.
In a recent survey, it was reported increased confidence in initiating supportive conversations and guiding vulnerable people towards professional help.
Out of more than 1,000 responses, 98% rated the training four or five out of five. Furthermore, nearly everyone (99%) stated they would recommend the session to a colleague or friend.
Explore our a new Impact Report
Our new Impact Report covers our collective work from April 2024 to September 2026.
The rport details how we have connected communities, health and care partners, local government, voluntary organisations and researchers around shared action to promote mental wellbeing and address the wider conditions that shape people’s mental health.
Highlights from the last two and a half years include:
- 9,488 completions of the Gift of Reconnection trauma-informed training.
- Coordinated gambling harms activity across 22 boroughs, generating 164,630 direct clicks to local support services.
- 1,250 people taking part in suicide prevention webinars delivered alongside the Zero Suicide Alliance.
- 75 academic and policy-facing outputs through the Population Mental Health Consortium.
As Thrive LDN director Dan Barrett notes: “Public mental health is about much more than services. It is shaped by our relationships, our finances, our homes, our work, our communities and the inequalities people experience.”
We are grateful to the partners, practitioners, researchers and supporters who have made this progress possible.
