Please note: This course is a brief introduction to suicide prevention, is not designed for crisis support and we cannot guarantee a confidential, safe-space due to the nature of group video conferences. It does not cover suicide intervention in depth. SAMH Workplace also offers a classroom-style taught course on Suicide Prevention Training. This training is free for staff in Aberdeen city, Aberdeenshire & Moray but is currently unavailable due to COVID restrictions.
