Suicide first aid in the workplace
We offer suicide first aid training for companies, in partner with SFA: Suicide First Aid. Accredited by City and Guilds of London, our one-day training session aims to teach attendees effective suicide intervention skills, which they will be able to apply in both a professional and personal setting. Our trainers are experienced in suicide prevention, and will help attendees develop their skills through a range of lectures, group work, and role-play.
After the end of the training, suicide first aiders will be confident in:
- Intervening with people at risk of suicide
- Recognising the possible causes of suicidal thoughts and behaviour
- Asking about suicide and understanding the options available
- Guiding a person towards appropriate treatment and support
