Dear Colleagues

I was listening to Radio 4 with a representative of a key mental health charity talking about their role in bringing about the appointment of a Minister for the Prevention of Suicide. He talked about how they had been putting forward a range of solutions and priorities to the government for some years including the role of culture.  So, just a thought that archives can have a role in this, indeed a central role when one considers their capacity to prove and support identity - quite apart from the innate pleasure of working with archives and the social impact of being alongside others doing the same thing.  I appreciate that some of you may already be working in this area. I have heard about other areas of activity, e.g in dementia treatment and loneliness, but I have not heard of anyone working in the area of suicide prevention (though who knows, some of you may have had an effect without ever realising it). Has anyone got experience in this?

Regards

Elizabeth
