Rory O'Connor was delighted to win a Mind Media Award for Best Podcast together with Paul McGregor and Hannah Myerson at an awards ceremony in London on the 13th November - watch Rory, Paul and Hannah say a few words on accepting the award, above.
Their award-winning podcast: 'MQ Open Mind: How can we work together to prevent suicide?' was hosted by MQ: Transforming Mental Health. It aimed to inspire hope and move beyond awareness raising. It was first broadcast on World Suicide Prevention Day last year. MQ Open Mind brings together scientists and people with experience of mental health problems to explore current mental health research and its potential to transform lives. The discussion is
wide-ranging, highlighting myths, stigma, the integrated motivational-volitional model of suicide as well as how we can best work together to prevent suicide.
