Description
Course information
Organisations or departments that work directly with people who may be in financial difficulty are ideally placed to identify individuals who are thinking of suicide and thus help break that link and save lives.
Our Suicide and Financial Difficulties course is aimed at individuals and organisations who are in contact with those in financial difficulty.
Individuals will gain skills that will enable them to feel more confident when confronted with someone who is suicidal.
Using real case studies, the course will enable participants to understand the link between financial difficulties and suicide, indications that someone may be thinking of suicide and how to respond, it also covers the potential emotions that supporting someone may raise, and tips on self-care.
