Spot the Signs Suicide Prevention Training

Overview

The aim of this training is to introduce the Spot the Signs campaign, raise awareness of suicide and provide practical steps to help attendees feel more confident in recognising and responding to those affected by suicide.

It was refreshing to revisit some areas with more in-depth discussion such as, real-life scenarios, specific crisis/safeguarding situations and how to manage them

What is covered

By the end of this training it is expected that you will:

• Introduce and raise awareness of the Spot the Signs and Save a Life campaigns

• Have signposting information and an overview of services available locally
