About this Event

Suicide prevention is everyone’s concern and we can all learn how to have open, honest conversations and break down the stigma.

This course will give adults who work and care for young people, the skills and knowledge they need to start a conversation with someone who they believe is at risk.

This session aims to:

Increase participant's understanding of suicide by debunking myths
Provide guidance around the language to use when talking about suicide
Gain more confidence supporting someone who may be suicidal including knowing how to ask directly about suicide and signpost to support
