Suicide is a complex issue, but with the right knowledge, awareness, and action, lives can be saved. Our Suicide Prevention training helps you understand the causes, recognise the warning signs, and provide support when it matters most. This course is designed to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and give learners the confidence to act effectively in difficult situations.
You will explore suicide awareness, common misconceptions, and the damaging impact of stigma. Then, you will examine risk factors, including mental health conditions, bullying, social isolation, and sudden crises. In addition, the course highlights the effects of domestic violence on suicide risk.
Practical guidance is also provided to help you identify behavioural, emotional, and physical signs that someone may be struggling. You will also learn how to approach conversations about suicide, what language to avoid, and how to direct individuals toward professional help and support services.
