Suicide prevention training
Training forms a significant part of the Choose Life strategy. Since 2004, over 17,000 people have been trained in suicide prevention skills and there are over 500 suicide prevention trainers all over the country.
The more people who feel confident and willing to explore possible signs of suicide risk and provide support and help, the more lives could be saved. There are a number of suicide prevention training opportunities available to suit people from all walks of life.
