We advise schools, sports clubs, and organisations on strengthening their suicide prevention and digital well-being policies. We provide clear, practical consultancy tailored to your setting, reviewing existing policies, identifying gaps, and helping you implement evidence-informed approaches that protect and support your community. Whether you need a full policy overhaul or targeted guidance, we can help you build safer, more confident systems of care.

We contribute to, lead and collaborate on short and long-term research projects and we offer engaging teaching across undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional settings.
