KSCB Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training
18 January 2019
In partnership with West Kent Minds, KSCB are offering ‘Youth Suicide Awareness and Prevention’ workshops at no cost.
Free half-day workshops at locations across Kent and Medway, funded by Kent County Council.
Suicide is a difficult and often taboo subject. However we can all learn how to listen to and help a young person who is having suicidal thoughts.
Key outcomes for the workshop:
- Increased awareness of suicide prevention in children and young people
- Increased confidence to reduce suicide risk
- Increased awareness of support services.
To be eligible you must work with children and young people in one of the following:
- Public sector health, social care, community safety and other roles
- Private sector businesses
- Third sector organisations and charities.
