Welcome to season 02 of Time Space Compassion, a podcast from Suicide Prevention Scotland. 

In each show we’re exploring three important words that are a key part of the Scottish Government’s suicide prevention strategy, Creating Hope Together.

In this episode we discuss:

• Community based crisis care


• Compassionate MH emergency care


• Implementing trauma informed practice


• Collaborative and community based working


• No wrong door


• Gender based violence

Host Lawrence Broadie is joined by Wendy Given from Anchor House Perth, Krish Veramootoo, a Scottish Ambulance Service mental health paramedic, and Angie Pinkerton, Trauma lead for South Ayrshire.

Also with us is Myra Ross from NHS Highland who delivers a couple of powerful poems she's written, too.
