Using my lived experience in the media

This series of modules are designed to equip you with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to engage with media in a safe, thoughtful, and impactful way.

Sharing your lived experience of suicide through media—whether in interviews, articles, or online platforms—requires careful preparation and reflection. These modules will guide you through that process.

This learning is for anyone with a lived experience of suicide who is interested in contributing to suicide prevention through media engagement.

To deepen your understanding and expand your skills, we also invite you to explore our lived experience training workshops. These workshops offer additional support and guidance to help you share your story purposefully and contribute meaningfully to suicide prevention efforts.

Module 1: Introduction
