About this event

  • 6 hours 30 minutes

This course is ideal for service users, their families, carers and clinicians to learn about the importance of warning signs, knowing the questions to ask, how to listen and access effective support to reduce the likelihood of suicide.

Facilitators will refer to their “lived experience” and why they are passionate and motivated about suicide reduction.

Information will be provided and discussions will be facilitated to increase participants understanding of a really difficult subject that needs to be talked about.

Please note that this course contains frank discussion of suicide as well as videos and other content that could be distressing. Please contact us before booking if you are unsure if this course is right for you.

Links to materials will be provided and recommended materials, e.g. books, apps.
