Suicide is a serious public health issue and is the leading cause of death of people under the age of 35 and the biggest killer of men under 50. Suicide prevention is everyone’s concern and we can all learn how to have open, honest conversations and break down the stigma.

We have created a Suicide Prevention Awareness Session with the aim to help support anyone in the community to have the knowledge and confidence to start these difficult but important conversations.

Sessions are offered to anyone living or working in the South West London boroughs of Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton, and Wandsworth.

Learning objectives:

This session is for those who are aiming to gain a basic knowledge and understanding around the topic of suicide. We aim to:

• Increase participants understanding of suicide by debunking myths.
• Provide guidance around the language to use when talking about suicide.
• Gain more confidence supporting someone who may be suicidal including knowing how to ask directly about suicide and signpost to support.
