SUICIDE AWARENESS AND CRISIS SUPPORT
One in five people will have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives and yet we don’t talk about it – often until it is too late. Sadly all too many of us will be affected by the suicide of a family member, friend or work colleague.
This 2.5hr Suicide Awareness and Crisis Support course aims to:
- Equip employees with the confidence to approach a colleague who may be having suicidal thoughts and to offer help and support
- Prepare people within your organisation with the necessary skills to support someone impacted by suicide
- Dispel some of the myths surrounding suicide
- Open up a discussion around suicide
- Provide employees with information to increase their general knowledge and understanding of suicide and its social stigma
Having taken our Suicide Awareness and Crisis Support course, delegates from a well-known global science organisation commented:
‘Very clear and useful’
‘Thanks for the session. I feel so much more informed’
‘Thank you so much – very interesting session’
‘A really valuable session’
To assess the impact of the course, we asked our delegates to rate their confidence in supporting a colleague who they think may be considering suicide at the beginning and at the end of the session. All delegates said they were unconfident or very unconfident at the start of the course. All said they felt confident or very confident at the end.
