The Frontline Network are delighted to offer through our Outsourced Training Programme Suicide Alertness Training delivered by Every Life Matters.

Who Can Attend

Please be aware this session is exclusively offered to frontline workers who support people experiencing homelessness and are based in the United Kingdom. If this criteria does not apply to your circumstances you will not be able to attend this event. A valid work email address will be required to attend this training event.

This training session is aimed at frontline workers in the homelessness sector who wants to understand more about suicide, how to know when someone may be having thoughts of suicide, how to talk directly and comfortably about suicide, and what we can all do to offer practical support.

Course Aims

The session aims for participants to:

  • Be aware of the local and national context of suicide
  • Be aware of the importance of suicide awareness within the community and be more prepared to talk openly and honestly about suicide
  • Understand how stigma and societal and our own attitudes can have an impact
  • Understand the nature of thoughts of suicide. Appreciate the continuum of thoughts of suicide and the concept of ambivalence
  • Understand the many and varied reasons that someone may think of suicide and be alert to the signs
  • Be able to ask direct questions about thoughts of suicide
  • Appreciate the importance of compassionate listening
  • Be aware of resources available
  • Understand the importance of assessing situation and safety planning

Around 1 in 5 of us will have thoughts of suicide during our lifetime. It is a common response to stressful and overwhelming life events. We believe that Suicide prevention is everyone’s business. That it is family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and those closest to us that are most able to understand when someone is at risk of suicide, and to support that person to take the first steps towards getting help.

The session is delivered by dedicated and experienced suicide prevention trainers. Participants receive a PDF course worksheet and a post course handbook

Delivery

Delivered over a full day, this training will be held online.

You will need Zoom set up on your computer ahead of time to ensure accessing event on time.

Course material, if appropriate, will be sent out in advance of the session.
