Suicide Prevention (SPEAK) with PAPYRUS
Cost - £60+VAT for members & non-members
Suicide is the biggest killer of people aged 35 and under in the UK. We believe that suicide is often preventable.
Safeguarding Network has commissioned this SPEAK training to be delivered by PAPYRUS. Prevention of Young Suicide (PAPYRUS) is the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people.
Referred to by Papyrus as SPEAK Training - Suicide Prevention Explore, Ask, Keep-Safe. An introduction to suicide prevention skills
Presenter
PAPYRUS was founded in 1997 by a group of bereaved parents, who had each lost children to suicide. Their founding parents shared core beliefs that suicide is preventable, and that those of us with lived experience of suicide have a valuable and unique contribution to make to the wider conversation around suicide.
Aims and objectives:
The key objectives are:
- To consider the attitudes, myths, and stigma that surround suicide
- To recognise and explore the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide
- To encourage an open, safe and sensitive conversation about suicide with a person having thoughts of suicide
- To support a safety plan with someone thinking of suicide.
What you need to know to attend:
The course will be delivered in one 3.5 hour session.
