By now some of you are hopefully aware of the free suicide prevention training (called "Suicide - Let's Talk") that has been put together by the Zero Suicide Alliance.
This training is open to everyone and take about 20 minutes to complete; it includes 3 different scenarios (talking to a family member, a co-worker and a stranger) and it helps identify the signs when someone is having suicidal thoughts or showing suicidal behaviour, and helps you to speak to them in a supportive way to feel able to point them in the correct sources of support.
The Gloucestershire Suicide Prevention Partnership (GSPP) has launched an incentive to get as many people as possible to complete this free online training that could help prevent a suicide. As long as funding lasts, you can claim a free drink and cake or healthy snack from participating community cafes across Gloucestershire. All you need to do is take a photo on your phone or print off the "thank you" page upon completing the training and show this to the staff at one of the participating cafes.
For information on which community cafes are participating, and how to claim your free drink and snack click here. You can also find a poster promoting the training and the scheme here.
