Suicide Risk & Safety Research Unit (SSRU) Conference
Established in 2017, the Suicide, Risk & Safety Research Unit (SSRU) is a collaboration between Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) and the University of Manchester, led by Professor Gillian Haddock, Professor Daniel Pratt with Dr Paula Duxbury. It aims to provide crucial evidence to support service and training improvements, and ultimately to contribute to a reduction in suicide and self-harm rates, and to improve the safety of patients.
The SSRU are delighted to announce that their annual conference will take place on Thursday 23 January 2025. Clinicians, researchers, students and interested members of the public are welcome to join this free event.
The event will provide insight into the latest studies on suicide and self-harm prevention, from studies such as:
• The Mental Imagery for Suicidality in Students Trial (MISST)
• Relational Approach to Treating Self-Harm (RelATe)
• The National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health (NCISH)
• Cognitive Approaches to Combatting Suicidality (CARMS)
• Prevention of suicide behaviour in prison: enhancing access to therapy (PROSPECT)
