Mid & North East Essex Mind Offering Suicide Awareness Workshops
Posted on: June 22, 2026
The Essex Alliance is sharing this information on behalf of Mid & North East Essex Mind.
Mid and North East Essex Mind are pleased to offer new Suicide Awareness workshops for organisations and the communities of Mid and North East Essex. This course is designed to help you have potentially life-saving conversations and provide practical tools to help stay calm, respond with confidence, and know what to say (and what not to say) when someone may be at risk. It looks at warning signs, and how to hold a supportive and boundaried conversation, whilst connecting the person to the right kind of help – without taking on the role of a therapist or clinician.
During this workshop, participants will:
– Discuss warning signs to look out for, even when the person may not be engaged with mental health services or specifically have spoken about suicide
– Learn appropriate language to use when talking about suicide
– Explore strategies for self-care both during and after conversations about suicide.
The workshops are taking place on:
- 15th July – Colchester
- 9th September – Clacton
- 10th November – Chelmsford
