Mental Health CPD SIG

The MH SIG aims to be an informal and supportive space to:

• explore mental health and communication
• present cases
• share best practice and problem solve.

This MH SIG will focus on the issues of self-harm and suicide and how we as Intermediaries can engage, assess and respond to them. This was recently the focus of IFJ drop-in and from that the suggestion came that we dedicate a SIG to this issue.

The SIG always seeks to be a safe and welcoming space to explore what we do. Self-harm and suicide can be particularly challenging to explore and we will seek to do so as sensitively as possible.

As always, there is an upper limit of 12 at the SIG to allow for full participation and discussion.

30th October 2025, 11:00-15:00 with a lunch break.

Important update:

IfJ now require a token fee of £4 to attend the Mental Health CPD SIG meetings. Please be aware that CPD SIG hosts give their time voluntarily and receive no payment for their time and expertise. IfJ is very grateful to them. The small fee (equivalent to a cup of coffee) is to reduce people registering to attend and then giving no notice that they will not be attending. Please let us know if you can not attend so we do not delay the start waiting for you.
