Introduction

 

The 4-hour Mental Health First Aid Conversations about Suicide course teaches any adult (18 years and over) how to identify, approach and support someone who is experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviours. Learn how to identify the warning signs for suicide, how to safely have a conversation with someone experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviours and confidently support the person in crisis. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice these skills in a safe environment.

At the completion of the course, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to safely have a conversation with a suicidal person. This is not a postvention course and is not recommended for individuals recently bereaved by suicide.
