Active Gloucestershire are running a training session for care and support workers who work with people who could benefit from increasing their physical activity. We know this can be a difficult conversation to have so we want to provide care workers with the information, skills, and confidence to have effective and sensitive conversations that encourage and explore physical activity. The training will also include important information on the benefits of physical activity and the health and participation gaps that are seen locally.
The training will take place on: Date/time: Thu, 03 Mar 2022, 10:00AM -- 2:00PM
Location: The Pavilion, Hatherley Lane, Cheltenham GL51 6PN - Whitefield Room

Providing better information and support to those bereaved or affected by suicide is identified as a priority action in the government’s national suicide prevention strategy; and as detailed below, the new service will provide tailored support options for close family members and others affected by a death from suicide.
Rethink and Commissioners are currently working together to mobilise the service and we will be in touch with you to confirm a go live date for the service in due course.
We wanted to let you know about this as a key stakeholder who may either refer into or receive signposts from this new service. The new service will have three functions:
- A liaison function – providing tailored ongoing liaison support through the coronial and legal process predominantly to the Next of Kin (i.e. close family members of the deceased, including the spouse or partner) following a recent death through suicide (either confirmed or suspected); to help support their emotional and practical needs. These Clients will either be referred into the Service or be self-referrals.
- An information and signposting function- responding to ad hoc queries and requests for information on support options from:
- others affected by a death from suicide such as friends, colleagues, and witnesses; and
- professionals who may be in contact with individuals who have been bereaved through suicide.
- Development of peer led support for people bereaved through suicide.
As part of the mobilisation period Rethink and the commissioners will be in contact with organisations who operate within the current suicide bereavement process to discuss and agree the client pathway going forwards.
If you have any questions about this, please contact:
-
Suzie Lane - Senior Commissioning Manager (Public Mental Health and Voluntary & Community Partnerships), Gloucestershire County Council
And/or
We look forward to working together with you and hope that the service will provide a positive addition to the support available for individuals bereaved by suicide in Gloucestershire.
