Two hundred empty school chairs have been set out to prompt conversations about suicide.
The dramatic scene was staged by UCLan and the parents of Mary O’Gara – a Preston student nurse who took her own life aged 27 in May 2020. As part of World Mental Health Day, they wanted to highlight the shocking fact 200 schoolchildren take their own lives every year. And now, they are offering free suicide prevention training to all Preston schools and any other organisation who work with or support young people.
“It is vital that there are people in these settings who have the ability and skill set to spot and support a young person who may be in crisis. “Partnering with UCLan and the amazing support we have received from the staff working with us on this campaign has been a major boost to our Foundation’s aims and has been extremely rewarding.
