Suicide, self-harm and learning disability : Findings from a scoping study
Join us for an online meeting where we tell you what research says about suicide and self-harm in people with learning disabilities.
We’ve loved co-facilitating parts of the IMPORTANT project with Magdalena Mikulak and colleagues at Lancaster University, bringing together people with learning disabilities and others to explore suicide & self-harm. Vital work. Join our online workshop to hear what we’ve learned. All welcome!
