Suicide First Aid Lite

This half-day course aims to equip you with the skills to have a conversation with someone who may be thinking about suicide and signpost them to appropriate help, using a first-aid approach.

You will receive a training manual and workbook at the beginning of the course, and on completion you will receive a certificate.

No previous experience or training is necessary. Participants will be asked to self-reflect and empathise with a person having thoughts of suicide.

This course is comprised of two sessions, each lasting approximately 90 minutes, followed by a further 30 minutes for group discussion/questions.

Interesting and helpful. Much more inspiring and helpful than I’d expected.

Excellent course. Very well delivered. Insightful. Would recommend to others. Like handout having mixture of text and questions

Very informative and a great guide for how to support those who may thinking of suicide.

Excellent experience. Feel more able and skilled to deal with suicide.

[The trainer] is so knowledgeable and engaging and kept up a great environment for us to learn about such an important topic.

Thank you for making a topic I was dreading so manageable and relatable. Because you were real I feel I will be if I meet – and hopefully help – a suicidal person.
