Bringing together people who care about suicide prevention to change the way suicide is seen, talked about and treated.

Come and join us and help make a difference.

Baton of Hope is a Suicide Prevention charity dedicated to raising awareness, improving understanding and saving lives.

More than 6,000 people across the UK and the Republic of Ireland take their own lives each year.* and the WHO estimates that 135 people are affected by each death. That means more than 800,000 people every year are left feeling guilt, anger, confusion or helplessness that can last for weeks, months or even years.

We must make suicide prevention everyone’s business. Help us raise awareness, share facts and debunk myths, develop a new inclusive language around suicide, and support open, honest, caring conversations.

If you need help on the day, just ask a Baton of Hope volunteer

We understand that some of the content in the conference might be distressing or might trigger feelings related to suicide. It’s perfectly normal and valid to feel this way. If at any time during the day, you are feeling uncomfortable, just find one of the volunteers wearing a Baton of Hope t-shirt, and they will take care of you.

Have you experienced challenges with women’s health personally and it’s making you question where you’re at in your career and you’re exploring pastures new?
Do you want to connect with others going through a similar experience to share, learn and grow together?

Join this engaging, practical and fun interactive workshop with Rebekah Lloyd, women’s health and careers expert and founder of This Independent Life, and you’ll walk away with:

A clear understanding of why you want to work in women’s health
Clarity and definition of what you want to do and offer in women’s health, and how to communicate it with confidence
Guidance on how to build and elevate your personal brand to stand out in the women’s health space
Motivation to authentically put yourself out there online and in-person

Reviews from our previous Building a Career in Women’s Health workshop!

“I can’t recommend this workshop enough – not just what you learn but how you shape women’s health careers and the brilliant people you meet”
“Really informative and engaging, but also honest and relatable. You really normalised some of the challenges and I loved that you talked about internal barriers to success like imposter syndrome and how to manage these”
“Rebekah communicated key concepts in such a clear and confident way – I feel hopeful, empowered and a step closer to my goals each TIL event :)”

This will be a safe space for learning and is open to anyone regardless of your background, all are welcome (including allies, babies and animals!) If you’d like to join but can’t afford it right now please get in touch and we’ll see what we can do to support.
