Suicide Prevention and Awareness – Hybrid Course

A blended learning approach to recognising, preventing, and responding to suicide risk...

Suicide is a complex and sensitive issue, but learning how to recognise the signs and provide support can save lives. Many people feel unsure about how to approach conversations about suicide, but having the confidence to talk openly can be the difference between life and death.

This hybrid course combines self-paced eLearning with two interactive seminars, ensuring participants gain both foundational knowledge and practical intervention skills. The eLearning component provides an essential introduction to suicide prevention, while the live seminars offer an opportunity to explore real-life case studies, role-play scenarios, and intervention techniques in a supportive environment.
