Towards Zero Suicide annual event - Protective Factors Report

On 13th November over 200 people joined the Towards Zero Suicide annual event at the Royal Cornwall Showground in Wadebridge — and it was a powerful day.

The event blended moving lived experiences with moments of lightness, laughter, and even dancing. It was a brilliant example of how serious conversations can still feel human, hopeful, and connected.

Akumen's Research & Innovation team were proud to run a workshop on AI & Protective Factors (the relationships, activities, values, and environments that support emotional wellbeing). The subsequent report from the findings from the day produced by Suzanne, our Head of Mental Health is available to read and download below:

A huge thank you to Cornwall Council Public Health team & the Towards Zero team for organising such a thoughtful and energising event.

We’re proud to be part of the movement Towards Zero Suicide — and to keep exploring how narrative data can support real-world resilience.
