A new toolkit to support personalised safety planning for adults at risk of self-harm or suicide is set to be launched through a series of events across in March and April.
‘Jay’s Personalised Safety Planning Toolkit’ has been designed to support the embedding of a more personalised approach to safety planning within health and care settings. It can also be used by individuals themselves, their families, friends, and wider support networks.
The toolkit is named after, and dedicated to, Jaymie Mart (Jay), who lost her life to suicide, aged 32. Jay’s mum, Paula, has influenced and guided the development of the toolkit from the outset.

Events will be held in Carlisle, Newcastle, Teesside, Sunderland and West Cumbria.
The roadshows will introduce the toolkit, explore how it can be used in practice, and provide space for discussion.
The sessions are open to anyone with an interest in safety planning, including practitioners from across health and social care, as well as individuals who may use safety planning themselves, along with family, friends and other support people.

The development of Jay’s Personalised Safety Planning Toolkit has been supported by the NIHR ARC North East and North Cumbria.
