New Suicide Prevention Toolkit Launched to Support the Sporting Community

Developed by The Royal Foundation, in partnership with, BSI and Hub of Hope,  the toolkit provides practical guidance to help build the knowledge, confidence and skills needed to contribute meaningfully to suicide prevention.

Designed for use across all levels of sport, from grassroots clubs and community settings to elite sporting environments, On Your Side aims to help organisations understand how they can play a positive role in recognising concerns, supporting people who may be struggling, and contributing to a more supportive sporting culture.

Suicide prevention is an important issue for the whole orienteering community. Clubs, coaches, volunteers, staff and athletes can all play a part in creating environments where people feel supported, listened to and able to seek help when they need it.

The toolkit is available through the Hub of Hope website:

By taking the time to understand and use the available resources, together we can help build a culture in which conversations about mental health are encouraged and people are better supported to access appropriate help.
