• Provide an awareness of the magnitude in the local context (including prevalence numbers and statistics)
• Understand and reduce the stigma and discrimination (including the role of language in perpetuating stigma)
• Increase knowledge of types of support and where to access information on local services.
• Support individuals to recognise and understand their own emotions.
• Empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to support their own mental wellbeing as well as others.
• Increase confidence of individuals to initiate conversations on self-harm and bereavement by suicide and to ask for help.
• Understand the links between mental health, self-harm and suicide.
