The opportunity to intervene went unnoticed or the intervention was insufficient. Participants in this course will: Appreciate the role attitudes have in understanding suicide and interventions. Be confident identifying those at risk of suicide. Understand the cognitive, situational and environmental influences on suicidal behaviour. Develop confidence and structure in conversations about suicide. For more information, please contact [email protected]
