At Training For Life, we provide teams and individuals with skills to identify and address the risk of suicide. Our training, under the Suicide First Aid accreditation provided by the National Centre for Suicide Prevention, Education & Training, includes options for a half-day course or full 1-day courses.
SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING COURSES
We offer suicide prevention training in both half-day and full-day formats.
The 1-day course covers 6 hours and uses a range of interactive teaching tools. It focuses on barriers preventing people at risk from seeking help, understanding suicidal behaviour, and the impact of personal and professional experiences with suicide.
Our half-day option, “SFA Lite”, consists of two parts, each 90 minutes. This programme equips participants with suicide intervention skills, teaching them to identify someone who may be contemplating suicide and connect them with a suicide first aider.
Suicide First Aid is designed to teach how to recognise if someone is considering suicide. This course provides the knowledge and intervention skills training needed for a first aid approach to keep someone with thoughts of suicide safe.
This interactive course covers both theory and practical skills in first aid for a suicidal crisis, teaching participants to recognise suicide warning signs and effectively intervene.
SUICIDE AWARENESS TRAINING
Suicide Awareness Training is essential for everyone, enhancing knowledge, skills, and confidence in suicide prevention. This training is crucial in understanding mental health, managing suicidal thoughts, and addressing self-harm.
Our courses, accessible without prior coaching, are vital in supporting individuals at risk and in breaking down stigma, encouraging open conversations about suicide and mental health.
