Suicide Awareness Hub

Posted on: September 6, 2022

Suicide is the leading cause of death in men and women aged under 45 in England. Suicide is a preventable death. Suicide is indiscriminate and can touch any of us.

Our Suicide Awareness Hub is here to offer training, support and education on what we can do. Suicide is everyone business and therefore as a society we can do our best to provide comfort and support to people who are feeling suicidal.

So what do we do?

The Hub will give you the skills and confidence to be an informed friend for someone who is at risk of ending a short term problem with a long term solution.

We have a FREE workshop consisting of two 2 hour sessions (virtually for now). These cover:

  • About suicidal feelings
  • Risk factors
  • Why suicide
  • Myths
  • How to help

On completion of the 2 workshops you will receive continued online follow up support sessions:

  • Informal (a chance to offload)
  • Formal 1:1 support

You will have access to our online Training Academy where you will find a range of additional courses and peer support.

Workshop dates

Please choose a pair of dates below, you need to attend both sessions to complete the training.
