The National Centre for Suicide Prevention Education & Training UK CIC Reviews

I have gained knowledge and understanding about suicide, and how I can identify suicidal signs, feelings and behaviours though it is difficult to identify thoughts unless they verbalise them. I learned how to approach, asking the right questions to get more information, or asking questions like ''Are you thinking about suicide'', what action to take or intervention to support them. I have an understanding of the causing factors of suicide such as biological, psychological, history, identity and current life event situation. All these build up my confidence to have a non-judgmental, compassionate, person-centred and empathetic approach to someone who is exposed to suicidal feelings. I have observed that effective communication and listening are very important in meeting people's needs and alleviating dangers or deteriorations.

The class was well taught in an interactive atmosphere. Well done to the lecturer.

Really helpful and full of information

Very good course and it will help me with future calls

Great course in a sad subject area but prevalent and relevant. Great to be in with people from other organisations

Enjoyed the course and how it was delivered by the tutors. Feel it is paramount to our role.

Excellent. Really appropriate to what I need to improve my interactions with callers with suicidal thoughts

Thank you, really found the training helpful

Really enjoyed the format. Like the bite size video scenarios which helped engage us with discussions. Pre prepared scenarios would have been my preference for role play activities.
