Suicide Crisis: the Story

The story of how a mental health patient set up the first Suicide Crisis Centre of its kind in the UK, despite widespread scepticism and resistance from people in positions of power and influence. The author experienced a traumatic event in 2012 which triggered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a descent into crisis and more than one suicide attempt. The book contains a very honest account of her experience of crisis and her sometimes disturbing experiences within mental health services. Unable to find the right kind of help, she set about creating something which would have helped her, and which is now helping other people who are at risk of suicide. The work of Suicide Crisis has been described as "pioneering" and "inspirational".
