The Making Recovery Real Partnership (MRR) was established in 2014/15 to take a co-produced approach to the implementation of Moray’s Mental Health and Wellbeing strategy (Good Mental Health for all in Moray 2016 - 2026). Suicide prevention and supporting those affected by suicide, is a key part of this work.

We need your support in completing this survey to help us understand the current picture around suicide prevention in Moray, and what more can be done to save lives and support those affected by suicide.

A wealth of Moray organisations, groups and individuals contribute to suicide prevention. However, the details of the activities and the numbers of people they support is not fully understood. MRR partners need to understand what is currently happening to get an idea of what more could be done.

We recognise that the subject of suicide can be very sensitive and distressing for so many people and it impacts on many people’s lives; friends, families, communities and those who have attempted suicide. Therefore it is important to take a bit of time to reflect on the things that we are doing to reduce and prevent suicide; listen to what people say, and use this information to try make improvements, where we need to.

There is a wealth of skill, and experience in Moray, ranging from large statutory services, third sector organisations, small community projects and people with lived and personal experience.  We would like to hear from you and ask you what think. If you have personal and lived experience and/or if you provide a service or services.

The more responses we get the more it will help us to make the changes.
