Join us for our May Learning Network Workshop!WORKSHOP DETAILS
Topic: Suicidal Ideation in Young People
In this workshop we will be exploring risk factors for suicide in young people, how to identify risk, explore our own personal attitude to suicide, and how to intervene and keep someone safe. We will reflect on how faith intersects with this difficult and confronting topic, and how the Church has stigmatised this mental health issue. Participants will feel more confident in how to discuss suicidal ideation with young people in a positive and non-judgemental way.
