  • Increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid.
  • Identify the key elements of an effective suicide safety plan and the actions required to implement it
  • Two knowledgeable, supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment.
