Published: Monday September 8, 2025

PEOPLE with lived experience of suicide and self-harm will help shape national policy and research in Wales, with the first meeting of a new advisory group taking place on World Suicide Prevention Day (Tuesday, September 10).

The People with Lived Experience Advisory Group will support the Wales National Centre for Suicide Prevention and Self-Harm Research, ensuring those who have had suicidal thoughts or behaviours, those who self-harm, and people bereaved by suicide are involved in decision-making at every stage. The group brings together fifteen members from across Wales and from all walks of life.
