The Low Road: Film Screening and Specialist Panel Q&A

Forth Valley College, in partnership with Falkirk Health & Social Care Partnership and the Falkirk Suicide Prevention Network, is hosting a special screening of 'The Low Road' on Tuesday 1 December at our Falkirk Campus.

'The Low Road' is a fictional film exploring the impact of mental health struggles, suicide, grief and loss on young adults, while carrying an important message about hope, speaking openly and seeking help.

Through the Scottish Government and COSLA suicide prevention strategy, 'The Low Road' is being shown as part of Suicide Prevention Scotland's delivery plan to raise awareness across communities about suicide and how we can all do something to help prevent it.

This event aims to create space for open and informed conversations about suicide prevention, challenge some of the stigma that can prevent people from talking about suicide, and encourage all of us to recognise that we can play a part in helping someone who may be struggling.

Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from a specialist panel and take part in a Q&A exploring some of the themes raised in the film and the wider issue of suicide prevention.

On the day of the event, information stalls from local support organisations will be available, giving attendees the opportunity to find out more about the support and services available within the community. Members of Forth Valley College's Safeguarding Team will also be present to provide support and guidance to anyone who may be affected by the topics discussed.
