Working towards a greater understanding in risk assessment & suicide awareness
The training is a one day interactive workshop in risk assessment and suicide awareness. We teach participants to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety.
These skills are widely used by healthcare providers although participants don't need any prior training in order to attend the workshop - anyone 16 or older can learn and use the skills taught.
The co-trainers have over 30 years’ experience between them, working with a wide range of individuals with mental health difficulties. This training is aimed at Counsellors, newly qualified counsellors & student counsellors. Lisa Baldwin is a Counsellor and supervisor and Steve Baldwin is a registered Mental Health Nurse
