We recognise that suicidal thoughts are prevalent among young people, particularly those with additional needs. Research indicates that approximately 20% of teens and young people have seriously considered suicide, with higher rates among those with disabilities and mental health conditions

. Our course aims to provide support and resources to help parent/carers address these challenges effectively.

The key objectives are

• To consider the attitudes, myths, and stigma that surround suicide
• To recognise and explore the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide
• To encourage an open, safe and sensitive conversation about suicide with a person having thoughts of suicide
• To support a safety plan with someone thinking of suicide

This is an online course for parent/carers only. This course is not suitable for professionals. We want to keep and ensure a safe space for parent/carers to talk freely. 

I will email the zoom details one week before. Please check spam.

The course will run 9.30am-1pm

We apologise – but these courses are not suitable for children.

Please do let us know if you have an access requirements.
