A reminder that later this week we’re hosting free Suicide Awareness and Prevention sessions at CHFT alongside other events.

National suicide prevention charity Papyrus are coming along as part of the wider roadshow on Thursday, 29th and Friday, 30th June to run the free sessions. The charity is for suicide prevention in young people, but the training is for all ages. 

There are a few spaces left so you can book below.

A memorial quilt - made by people bereaved by suicide, is being used as part of the roadshow to help generate discussion about suicide. It will be on display in our HRI Lecture theatre during the two days.

There are other events happening throughout the two days – please see the attached flyer below for full details. 

Sessions, dates and how to book

Suicide Prevention Overview Tutorial (SPOT)

A 90-minute session which is open to all. We know that we have colleagues who may not provide clinical care, but who deal with patients on the phone, when portering or using patient transport. This brief session will amongst other things, recognise the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide.

Suicide Prevention – Explore, Ask, Keep-safe. An introduction to suicide prevention skills (SPEAK)

A three-and-a-half-hour session tailored toward our clinical professionals, chaplains and volunteers who have more interaction with patients.
