Registrations for the Creating Hope Together Conference 2025: How We Address The Inequalities Of Suicide are now open!

This event takes place from 9am – 5pm, Thursday 15 May 2025, in person at Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow (301 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8DL).

People working or volunteering in the public, private and third sectors who have a focus on suicide prevention and/or the inequalities which contribute to suicide are invited to attend. Suicide Prevention Scotland also welcome people with lived and living experience of suicide who would like to know more about suicide prevention work across Scotland.

Creating Hope Together aims to work across sectors to reduce suicide whilst tackling the inequalities which contribute to higher risk of suicide. Over the last two years of delivery, they have explored what this means and how best to do this.

This year’s conference will focus on key areas of inequality connected to suicide risk which were identified through this work, including:

Poverty
Alcohol and substance use
Children and young people
Stigma and discrimination
Transitions and life changes
Isolation and loneliness

The day will feature a range of presentations alongside the opportunity to take part in interactive workshops on how these themes show up in people’s lives. The conference will also provide an opportunity to meet and network with others working across Scotland in all aspects of suicide prevention and related fields supporting the ambition to build a network of organisations working across sectors.
