FREE Training: Suicide Prevention in the Context of Domestic Abuse
Suicide Prevention in the Context of Domestic Abuse: Half-day, Foundation
Domestic abuse significantly increases the risk of suicidality amongst both victims and the perpetrators of abusive behaviours. The trauma and emotional distress caused by abuse can lead to feelings of hopelessness, depression, and anxiety, which are major risk factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
This insightful training session is designed to equip professionals and volunteers with the knowledge and basic skills needed to support people at increased risk of domestic abuse and suicidality.
This course not only raises awareness of domestic abuse and suicide prevention but also provides practical strategies for engaging with individuals at risk, mitigating risk, and accessing appropriate support services.
Our trainers provide strategies for recognising and addressing one’s support requirements, enhancing resilience, and averting burnout while aiding individuals in vulnerable situations.
