Calm Care Suicide Awareness

There are often subtle signs that someone is struggling with life stressors.

When feelings become unbearable, they may start thinking that suicide is their only option to deal with their pain.

This 3.5 hour (or less) program is a suicide awareness program that teaches you how to be suicide aware and recognise when someone may be thinking about ending their life.

Learn to recognise the subtle warning signs that are often missed or overlooked, how to approach someone, make a connection and know what to say.

Above all, this suicide awareness training will equip you to confidently put your hand up when someone is signalling they are not coping.

This training takes place online and is ideal for anybody who is concerned about our rising rates of suicide and wants to be equipped with knowledge and skills should they identify somebody who may be struggling.
