CLPL – Suicide Intervention Training Skills Workshops
Every day two people die by suicide in Scotland. The vast majority of those thinking about suicide will find some way to signal their intent. Suicide may be prevented through the actions of prepared caregivers. As part of an Action Plan to reduce suicide in Glasgow, the Glasgow City Suicide Prevention Partnership aims to provide training to key frontline staff via a multi-agency approach. In order to meet this aim, a series of suicide intervention skills training workshops are available for frontline staff. There are places available for GCC Education Staff as well as Third Sector/Voluntary staff. Open the leaflet to find out more and book places:
