Description

It is time to stop, sit up and take notice - we must reduce the risk of suicide in the workplace! Why? Well, complete this course and you will discover the reasons why so many people are dying by suicide in the UK, especially those of working age. You will also learn what YOU can do to identify staff or colleagues who may be considering suicide, how to initiate conversation and help them get the support.

Burying our heads in the sand, thinking suicide will not happen in your place of work is risky! Reacting to a death by suicide is too late! A few hours reading and listening to lectures may well help you save the life of someone in your workplace.

We start at the beginning, covering awareness and preventative measures which can be adapted to all workplace sectors. Suicide can affect everyone, regardless of where you work, live, your age, gender or anything else for that matter!

This course is straightforward and informative. There are no complicated words just facts and our experience of working with people who are affected by suicidal ideation or loss.

We know suicide is an emotive topic, so if you are affected by anything in this course, please reach out to your line manager, a colleague, friend or your local community for support.


Who this course is for:

  • This course will enable Line Managers to support employees who are experiencing suicidal ideation. It will also be of benefit for any employees who wish to upskill in order to support colleagues in the workplace.
