Important content warning

EDF End of Shift Videos Discussion

This session includes discussion of suicide and suicide bereavement, including a personal account of suicide. We recognise that this may be difficult or upsetting for some people, particularly those who have been personally affected.

Please look after yourself during the session. You are welcome to step outside or take a break at any point, and there is no expectation for anyone to share personal experiences during the discussion.

Colleagues will be guided through three short videos: • The Story – the fictional End of Shift film, based within our industry • Reflections from the Sofa – candid responses from individuals after watching the film, sharing what they noticed, how it made them feel and the moments that stood out • A Personal Story – a real-life experience of suicide, bringing a personal perspective to the themes explored in the film

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings without judgment, promoting mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.

This session will showcase the benefits of mindfulness and take participants through a meditation exercise.
