Join our focused half-day training designed to equip you with lifesaving skills and practical tools, all in just a few hours down the barriers of fear and stigma, giving you the tools to spot warning signs, start honest conversations, and take confident action when it matters most. The more we all know, the fewer lives we lose.

Here’s what you’ll take away :

An understanding why it's important to talk about suicide

See the true scale and impact of suicide

Understand the reality behind the statistics and why this matters to every person and community.

To explore the language and the challenges, when talking openly about suicide

Break the silence around suicide

Learn the language and face the tough conversations with honesty and courage.

To recognise the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide

Suicide doesn’t always shout.

Learn to recognise the hidden signs and subtle messages that too often get missed, because catching these moments early can be the difference between life and death.

To develop confidence and encourage support for a suicide safer community

Sometimes it’s not the asking that makes people nervous - it’s the fear of hearing ‘yes.’

Knowing how to respond if someone says they are struggling can be just as challenging as starting the conversation. That’s why our training equips you with the confidence and skills to support them, whatever the answer.
