Free Suicide Awareness and Response Training for Voluntary and Community Sector staff and volunteers in Wandsworth
The aim is to train hundreds of staff and volunteers in the borough to raise awareness of emotional distress, suicidal thoughts and how to respond in a compassionate manner.

Everyone can potentially help someone in distress or with suicidal thoughts. Compassionate help from a colleague, friend, health provider, care giver, or even a complete stranger can make a real difference to someone who is in distress and considering suicide.
‘Excellent -a really necessary course. Everyone should do this course-all members of the public, communities and professionals.’
‘This Training Saves Lives !!!’
