How to respond to service users who present with suicidal thoughts or plans is a common concern for helplines. It is essential that your service is equipped to identify those at risk and that your team know how best to support them. This course will explore how to identify risk; practice different techniques and set up internal processes; policies and supervision. Service managers and co-ordinators attending this course will leave with greater knowledge; confidence and awareness alongside practical skills and actions to take back to their helpline.
