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

I've only given 1 start for the previous two questions only because I'm already confident at speaking to people about suicide as its part of my role as a mental health social worker in a community mental health team, and already look for the early warning signs but that takes nothing away from the training which is invaluable to those professionals not working directly with people who experienced suicidal thoughts/behaviours.

excellent interactive virtual training session

Really enjoyed the course. It delivered what it could in the constrained timescales. I will look to do the full-day, accredited course when face to face is an option.

I really enjoyed it, it seemed to be pitched just right for how to recognise the signs and how to intervene and look after yourself.

Very well planned and delivered course.

I enjoyed this course (although of course the subject matter is emotionally difficult.) it was delivered well and in an approachable manner.

A good breakdown of a difficult subject

I very much enjoyed the course. I found some of the content quite intense due to personal experiences however the tutor delivered it is a sensitive and respectful manner.

Informative and well stuctured. More needs to be understood as to why more young men in this country are at risk of suicide than other parts of the world, say developing countries. Are these pressures related to the idea of materialism and gender equality? The idea that the more women are becoming more and more recognised as equals the less men feel 'needed'? What is the role of technology? Can science explain suicide? Are some people predisposed to take their own life? More work needs also to be done around the language used to talk about suicide. I don't think saying the person is likely to " do suicide behaviour" is a particularly successful alternative to "commit".
