This half day training course focuses upon a community approach to suicide prevention and intervention.

Objectives:

• Provide them with knowledge to signpost to local services and access the relevant pathway of support
• Reduce suicides

Upon completion of the training workshop delegates will have developed competencies in the areas of skills, knowledge and attitudes associated with suicide prevention.
