Description

SP-EAK:

Suicide Prevention - Explore, Ask, Keep-Safe

This is an introduction to suicide prevention skills. The key objectives are:

  • To consider our attitudes around suicide

  • To recognise the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide

  • To talk openly about suicide with that person and how we ask about those thoughts

  • To understand how to listen to someone talking about suicide – and why that’s important

  • To support a safety plan with someone thinking of suicide
