This is not a formal suicide intervention training but more an awareness training for teachers, therefore there will be no expectation that you carry out a risk assessment.
This presentation will instead help you identify students at risk and then confidently ask some basic questions so you know where you can refer to.
The session will cover:
• Definition of suicide.
• Risk factors and warning signs.
• What helps and what doesn’t
• Follow the correct procedures to get help for students who indicate that they are thinking about suicide.
• Looking after yourself and know how to get support at work, after you have had an interaction with a student who has been talking about suicide.
