1 Time Space Compassion are universal themes of human connection and community that have not been created or discovered through this work, but that help us make sense and respond to the complex nature of suicidal crisis.
2 The quotes in this and subsequent ‘in practice’ sections have been created drawing on practice and insights from a wide range of people and providers. They do not reflect the views or words of individual people. They are offered in this format, as it reflects the informal style of the original conversations.
