A training is for frontline workers in Southampton and will explore how domestic abuse informed practice includes suicide prevention.

This in-person workshop is for frontline professionals in Southampton working with families and individuals impacted by domestic abuse and will explore how domestic abuse informed practice includes suicide prevention work.

The session aims to raise awareness of the relationship between domestic abuse and suicide and will provide information about suicide prevention in victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse, including risk factors, what to look out for, safety planning, and how to support and intervene.

We hope to offer a supportive and collaborative space to build confidence in talking about suicide and suicide prevention.
