suicideTALK – A short exploration and awareness-raising session: 3 dates available

Suicide can affect any one of us so let’s make sure the right help is available.

By dispelling the myth that talking about suicide promotes suicidal behaviour, suicideTALK provides a solid foundation for suicide prevention.

This one hour session aims to reduce stigma around suicide and promote awareness within the community. The talk is a good starting point for those who would like to learn more about suicide and attitudes surrounding the issue.

Suicide is everyone’s business. We all know someone who has been affected by this issue and this training will give you the confidence to support others who may have suicidal thoughts.

This FREE training is suitable for everyone over 15 years of age who wants to help prevent suicide. Places on the workshop are limited, so early booking is advisable.

Training is being held:

  • Tuesday 11th September from 5pm-6pm in the Lecture Room, Education Unit, Western Isles Hospital
  • Wednesday 12th September 1pm-2pm in Tarbert Community Centre, Harris
  • Thursday 13th September from 12pm-1pm in Clinical Skills, Western Isles Hospital
