Suicide First Aid® - Learn to have a conversation that could save a life
The National Centre for Suicide Prevention Training UK CIC is a community interest company and not-for-profit social enterprise, founded in 2011 by a consultancy of experienced international tutors in the field of suicide prevention.
For many years, we have been working across the UK to help build suicide-safer communities. Recognising the lack of dedicated resources for high-quality suicide prevention training, we created and developed the Suicide First Aid® suite of programmes—now among the UK’s most widely delivered suicide prevention courses, known for their evidence base, rigorous accreditation, and impact. To date, these programmes have received over 22,000 learner reviews and are delivered by a network of skilled tutors based across the UK and internationally.
Our organisation is proud to have forged lasting collaborative relationships with many of the UK’s leading suicide prevention specialists, all sharing the common beliefs, values, and hope that all communities can be made safer from suicide.
Community Interest Companies (CICs) are limited companies with special additional features designed for people who want to conduct a business or activity for community benefit rather than private gain. This is safeguarded by a community interest test and an asset lock, which ensure that the organisation’s assets and profits are used solely for its community purposes. Registration as a CIC must be approved by the Regulator, who also provides ongoing monitoring and oversight.
