Time Space Compassion - supporting people experiencing suicidal crisis: introductory guide
Introductory guide to the Time Space Compassion principles and approach - a relationship and person centred approach to improving suicidal crisis. It has been developed for use by people and services who regularly come into contact and support people experiencing suicidal crisis.
And finally, if you’re not sure where to start
Here are three ways we can all start to take action to support Time Space Compassion.
Talk about it
Name it – when you see it; let others know you value what they do.
Reference it – in strategy, plans and commissions.
Integrate it – in supervision, peer support or any other place you reflect and take stock.
Explore it
Existing data – explore what you already know and the insights you gain from looking at it through the Time Space Compassion lens.
Ask people – where they see and experience it, and what you can learn from that.
Relationships – check in with other support providers, particularly those you regularly refer to and receive referrals from.
Plan time to reflect and top up learning
Tap into, revisit and share – starting with the learning and resources referenced in this guide.
Reflect – on where you’re already strong and possibilities for action, using the prompts throughout this document.
