Suicide Awareness and Prevention

Transform understanding into lifesaving action

Reduce the stigma and misconception attached to suicide and help your employees feel comfortable when identifying and supporting individuals who may be thinking about suicide.

Workplace Awareness Saves Lives

Businesses often overlook the need for suicide awareness and prevention strategies due to a lack of awareness or focus on immediate matters.

Without understanding, your employees may struggle to identify the signs that a colleague is suffering from suicidal thoughts.

Colleagues may appear productive and able to manage workloads; however, the reality could be very different. They may feel the need to mask their pain with a smile, all the while feeling increasingly isolated and alone.

Our experienced suicide prevention trainers work with your employees to raise awareness around this sensitive subject, giving them the confidence and tools to help individuals who may be at risk.

Only one in ten people know how to ask a colleague, who they are worried about, whether they are considering a plan to end their life*.

Global studies show a rise in work-related suicides linked to deterioration of working conditions, including unmanageable workloads and increased job insecurity*.

*Journal of Public Mental Health, 2016.

Evidence shows a comparable rise in the UK, workplace suicide remains a largely hidden phenomenon that is unrecognised in legislation, absent from official statistics, overlooked by the authorities and widely misunderstood*.

What people say about our training

  • “The trainer’s powerful story impacted me on both a professional and personal level. It gave me an insight into the thoughts and actions of someone who contemplates and attempts to take their own life, the reactions of those around them in the aftermath of those actions, as well as how those reactions can impact the recovery and wellbeing of the person concerned.
