Most people thinking of suicide never get an opportunity to have an open conversation, and often make the biggest decision of their life without first talking through what their intentions are.
Suicide First Aid will teach you essential skills such as:
- The value of personal and professional experience;
- What prevents people seeking help;
- What prevents us from offering help;
- Understanding suicidal thoughts and actions;
- The signs of suicide;
- The Suicide-Safety Guide;
- Partnership working; and
- Debriefing and self-care.
This course is suitable for anyone - regardless of prior training or experience - and is tailor-made to fit our New Zealand context.
