Free two day intensive Suicide Prevention Training 12-13 February 2020

In Lambeth, 2 people die by suicide each month and many more attempt to take their own lives…

  • Are your staff sure of what to say if someone starts talking about death, and about harming themselves?
  • Do you want to have at least one person in the organisation who knows how to help someone who may want to kill themselves?
  • Do you want to become part of a network of organisations in Lambeth which are suicide aware?

We are offering 1 - 2 places on this invaluable training to Lambeth-based organisations as part of our suicide-safe community approach. To book your rep onto the course, email helen.turnage@southwark.gov.uk and copy: Sabrar@lambeth.gov.uk
