Training for Public Services, Community and Voluntary Organisations

Sadly around 6,000 people die every year in the UK by suicide, twice the number who die in road traffic accidents. Traditionally, the responsibility for people with suicidal thoughts has been seen to lie with mental health services, however approximately two thirds of people who die by suicide have not been in contact with mental health services in the year before their deaths.

It’s our belief that ‘suicide is preventable, not inevitable’ - everyone can safely play a role in suicide prevention. We feel that public services, voluntary and community organisations working with general public are ideally placed to play a vital role within suicide prevention. As such, we’ve adopted a ‘whole-community’ approach to our training programmes, with modules purposefully designed to develop understanding, skills and confidence with view to:

improve individual wellbeing and develop emotional resilience
address stigma around mental health and suicide
ensure a safe, appropriate and compassionate, person-centred response to a person in distress
establish a common language to improve communication across different sectors and promote a more integrated response across statutory services, third sector providers and communities

We are proud of our established reputation for high quality training and feel our success stems from an academic approach, ensuring all training content is peer-reviewed by our international Expert Reference Group and underpinned by evidence-based principals, the latest research, best practice and invaluable input from those with lived experience.We’ve helped a number of organisations within the UK, Channel Islands, Republic of Ireland and Australia implement our whole-community approach to suicide prevention. We believe these commissions demonstrate our expertise and vast experience as a training provider and offer new clients unrivalled reassurance and confidence
