Suicide is a complex and emotional subject. It can be something many people find difficult or distressing to talk about.
The more we develop our understanding of suicide, the more confident we become at having supportive conversations with people at risk – conversations that can save lives.
Our Handling Suicidal Conversations half-day course will help employees apply the skills they learned on our Conversations with Vulnerable People course. Enabling them to have conversations with someone who is having thoughts of suicide, or showing signs of suicidal behaviour.
