Self Harm and Suicide Prevention eLearning course

You might want to consider if now is the right time for you to take this self-harm and suicide prevention online training course. If in doubt, seek support. Your own well-being should always come first.

Self-harm and suicide are very emotive and sensitive subjects. Sadly there are still stigmas attached to people with mental health needs and there are still myths about why people self-harm or choose to take their own life. The impact on people who self harm and their families can last a lifetime and the impact of suicide on family, friends and carers can be immense.

If you are personally affected by self-harm or suicide or you are feeling particularly emotional right now, please make sure you seek support for your own wellbeing.
