The Pressure of Success: A Workplace Toolkit for Starting the Conversation About Suicide
This is a practical tools-based workshop to explore the specific pressure experienced by young professionals, nearly 80% of whom believe there is still a stigma attached to telling others about their mental health at work. This workshop aims to be part of much-needed culture change, to create a culture of openness and healthier workplaces across London and beyond, so employees feel able to bring their ‘whole selves’ to work.
We created this workshop in partnership with Olly's Future, a charity set up in memory of Oliver Hare who took his own life when he was 22.
SFAUSI: Suicide First Aid through Understanding Suicide Intervention
This evidence-based, interactive programme is part knowledge-based, part skills-based. You will learn and practice the skills needed to identify someone who may be thinking about suicide, and to competently intervene to help create a safe plan, as a first aid approach.
SFAL: Suicide First Aid Lite
For groups with a limited time or budget, SFAL is a shorter interactive course, designed to be modified and fully flexible to suit the specific needs of your group.
In 3.5 hours, the group learns a mix of basic theory and practical skills. They leave feeling more alert to possible signs of suicide and more confident in helping someone considering suicide to stay safe.
ASIST: Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training
ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop for larger groups. Although ASIST is widely used worldwide by healthcare providers, participants don't need any formal training to attend - anyone aged 16 or older can take part. Since its development in 1983 by LivingWorks in Canada, over 2 million people have taken this workshop.
An ASIST workshop requires two trainers and two training rooms for two days.
SafeTALK: Suicide Alertness for Everyone
SafeTALK was developed by LivingWorks in Canada and is delivered worldwide. It is a half-day course that helps anyone learn how to notice and what to do if someone is thinking of suicide by following the easy-to-remember TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen and Keep-safe.
