Suicide Prevention and Postvention Response Training

The Suicide Prevention and Postvention Response Training (pdf, 288kb) training is designed for members of secondary school Senior Leadership Teams or staff with a lead role in student wellbeing. It is particularly relevant for those involved in policy development, guidance, and systems within schools.

The session will support schools in planning for a mentally healthy environment to help prevent suicides, and to feel prepared to respond appropriately if a suicide occurs within the school community.

We recommend that two members of staff from each school attend, if possible.

Details:

• Price: £50.00 per person

Training Focus:

• Suicide Prevention
  Understand why this area is currently a priority, explore risk factors, and learn how schools can provide protective factors to counterbalance those risks. The session will include audit tools and an example policy to help implement a suicide prevention action plan.
• Postvention (after a suicide)
  Learn why schools need a distinct response plan for death by suicide compared to other bereavements. Attendees will receive a Postvention Response Plan, complete with guidance notes and scripts to support healing and prevent further suicides.
