Suicide Awareness & Prevention

What's covered on the day?

Suicide is a major public health concern, and it is growing! It is no longer confined to the clinical area of a hospital or GP practice but is creeping out into agencies within Society, leading other non-clinical professionals to be experiencing these distressing situations without the knowledge skills or capabilities to deal with it. This course has been designed to help gain an understanding of what the main risk factors are, who is most at risk, how they may present and how you may be able to better handle these distressing situations.
