The Frontline Network are delighted to offer this half-day, online training session on Suicide Alertness delivered by Every Life Matters.

Who should attend?

This training session is aimed at anyone 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.

Please be aware this training is offered exclusively to UK-based frontline workers supporting people who experience homelessness.

Anyone who falls outside of these criteria will not be eligible to attend.

Course Aim

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 4 of us will have thoughts of suicide during our lifetime. It is a common response to stressful and overwhelming life events.

The session is delivered by dedicated and experienced suicide prevention trainers.

Participants receive a PDF course worksheet and a post course handbook.
