Talking about Suicide: 10 Tools (TAS10)
TAS10 is for everyone.
No prior training needed.
Talking about suicide is our best form of prevention. And yet common fears like this can get in the way of us starting a conversation:
​
"What if I say the wrong thing?"
"What if I make things worse?"
"What if I put the idea in their head?"
​
Talking about Suicide: 10 Tools (known as "TAS10") is an accessible, sensitive and safe training session that will equip you with 10 practical tools and inspire confidence to have a compassionate and potentially life-saving conversation with someone you are worried about.

TAS10 was created in 2018 by Rose Rowkins and Ann Feloy, whose beloved son Oliver took his own life in February 2017, aged 22. Ann wanted to create an accessible training session that “teaches the tools I wish I’d had before I lost Oliver.”
​
TAS10 is currently part of the curriculum at five UK medical schools, as part of the innovative Dr SAMS (Suicide Awareness in Medical Students) initiative from Ann's charity, Olly's Future.
