Dear Colleagues,
I in collaboration with Dr. Jacqui Rodgers (Newcastle University), Professor Simon Baron-Cohen (University of Cambridge), Professor Rory O’Connor (Glasgow University) and Professor David Mosse (University of London), are conducting research exploring the rate
of autism in those who died by suicide, and what can be learned to prevent future deaths by suicide in this group. This research has been funded by Autistica and NIHR CLAHRC EoE.
Before we begin this project, we are running an event bringing together members of the autism community, those bereaved by suicide, charities, clinicians, and service providers, to discuss how we can incorporate results of our research so far into practice,
and plans for the next stage of the research. We are delighted that the ESRC and NIHR CLAHRC have funded this meeting.
We were hoping that you or other members of your group may be interested in attending this free event, being held at Coventry University, on 16th June 2017, 12.30 - 4.30pm. Refreshments and free parking will be provided.
For further information, and to register, please follow this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mental-health-in-autism-stakeholder-event-registration-33000205503
We do hope to see you there. Please let us know if you have any questions.
With many thanks and best wishes,
Sarah Cassidy and Gareth Richards.
