SUICIDE HELP

DaveAsperg

I am involved with setting up an online suicide prevention app for this with autism who are suicidal. The project involves Cambridge Uni and 4 professors, but we are looking for Lived Experience ideas to incorporate.

I have given lots of my own as I struggle with this, but has anyone else got good ideas to help??

The standard advice of Samaritans and other phone lines is humiliating in my opinion

  • I like this idea. It can only help. There's not a lot of support for suicide at the moment, the go to one is Samaritans which helps but there is a wait involved sometimes up to ten minutes or more. I struggle with this and have made three attempts in the past, so if this app can help and support then I'd definitely use it and I'm sure others would as well.
