The Board were grateful to receive a short introduction to the item from Angela Forster, a member of the Voices collection of People with Living Experience of Suicide, and who runs the charity Sasha’s Project. Angela spoke regarding her daughter, Sasha, who had died by suicide and about the inspirational work undertaken by Sasha’s Project in supporting those affected by suicide.

Throughout the item, there was discussion on the importance of talking,  holding difficult conversations and the significance of asking the question, ‘Are you ok?’. A suggestion was made to develop a shared language guide/piece of e-learning/support module aimed at staff and employees and which could be used by all organisations and Board partners enabling a collective approach to informing and supporting staff on the topic of suicide. Board Members were very supportive of this suggestion.

RESOLVED:

That the Health and Wellbeing Board:

Notes the priorities within the Hampshire Mental Wellbeing Strategy (2023-28) and key mechanisms for delivery.

Additional ongoing work included the development of a PEOLC data dashboard, the implementation of PEOLC Single Point of Contacts for the ICS and the launch of the Death and Bereavement Campaign on Autumn 2023. Board Members were encouraged to help in sharing the launch information for this campaign within their respective organisations and sectors as it becomes available.

In response to Members’ questions, it was noted that:
