Meet Our Tutors

I'm Rose, founder of Start the Conversation and a passionate, experienced and international tutor of suicide prevention:

 ​

• One of just 16 tutors currently accredited to teach SFAUSI: Suicide First Aid through Understanding Suicide Intervention, the UK's only National Qualification in suicide prevention (City & Guilds Level 4)

• A licensed LivingWorks master trainer, having delivered over 35 ASIST programme across both hemispheres.

• A consultant tutor for the National Centre for Suicide Prevention Training UK CIC. 

I'm also a counsellor, manager, friend, sister, yogi and singer amongst other things. 

I actively promote and deliver suicide prevention skills training within our communities because we are all human beings and because suicide doesn't discriminate. I have trained GPs, teachers, parents, counsellors, students, youth workers, managers, police officers, veterans, firefighters. Together with colleagues, I am striving to share this education to more people, regardless of their professional background, across the South East and beyond.

​

I am passionate about empowering people to overcome their fears and find the words to talk about suicide, because I believe, no, I know, that talking saves lives. It saved mine. And not just talking, listening too. A conversation; a brave, bold and necessary conversation. 

​

I believe we are all capable of learning how to prevent suicide, by gaining the confidence to talk about suicide in a conversation that, maybe one day, could save a life.
