Last Photo Exhibition

A community exhibition called The Last Photo will take place in Chesterfield for World Suicide Prevention Day.

This impactful exhibition will share real life stories around mental health and suicide in a safe and supportive space. The event will also highlight the power of art and creativity in supporting people’s mental health and will be showcasing the wonderful work of our mental health community sector.

The Last Photo is organised by Derbyshire Voluntary Action’s Mental Health Liaison Service and The Georgia Bird Foundation working in collaboration with SoBS Chesterfield, The Tomorrow Project, Mentell, Kakou and a number of volunteers.

Inspired by CALM’s last photo exhibition in London, which saw the displaying of peoples last photos before taking their lives. CALM’s event has raised so many important questions around how suicide doesn’t always look suicidal, and how we can spot signs of when people may be struggling.

The community exhibition will take place from 5th September until World Suicide Prevention Day on the 10th September from 10am to 3pm at Derbyshire Voluntary Actions Hub @ Low Pavement.

On Saturday the 10th September DVA will be holding a public living room in front of the outdoor cinema screen at Vicar Lane, where members of the public can chat to mental health workers about mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
