We are very pleased to announce that Briand Glass will be speaking at our First Aid Conference in Carlisle on March 8th.
Brian is a fully qualified trainer in Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid and the Choose Life
Suicide Prevention courses, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and SafeTALK
(the suicide alertness programme developed for everyone) and has been involved in
organising and delivering these courses within the Lothians for a number of years.
Brian works part-time with a mental health charity supporting people in crisis with mental health issues,
 providing information and support on suicide prevention.
Brian has appeared on local and national media in support of National Suicide Prevention week
and is passionate about helping people in so much pain that they consider ending their own life.
 He is adamant that talking about any problem will help, and in the case of suicide, can actually
save lives.
As someone who is in recovery from depression and anxiety issues, his lived experience is
invaluable. He brings his knowledge to the training and his open, honest talk enhances the
quality of each course. Brian is also a creative artist. Â He has led groups on art and is an
advocate of the creative arts and how they can help mental health.
Brian is one of many excellent speakers and exhibitors we have presenting at our Conference on 8th March in Carlisle. For more information on the conference, follow this link.
