Free Suicide Prevention Workshops for Health Care Providers
Healthcare professionals, including nurses, clinicians, therapists, and support staff, play a vital role in the well-being of their clients. Our free workshops are specifically designed to equip healthcare workers with the skills and knowledge needed to be the first line of defense in preventing suicide.
Add Suicide Prevention to Your Curriculum
We are happy to share the suicide prevention services we provide as part of your organization’s continuing education program. Contact the Community Education and Outreach team to discuss how we can make suicide prevention part of your curriculum.
Health Care Workers
As trusted individuals on the front lines of patient care, it’s essential for healthcare professionals to be trained and ready to offer support when it matters most. Clinicians will learn how to recognize risk factors and warning signs of suicide, and identify basic steps for getting patients help.
Mental Health Care Workers
Workshops for mental health care workers aim to empower mental health professionals with skills and resources to support a patient in crisis. Additional discussion may include de-stigmatizing suicide and mental illness in the community, self-care and stress management, and who to reach out to if you, a coworker, or a loved one may be struggling.

Need to help someone who is struggling?
Many people are afraid to talk about suicide, but it is often a great relief to someone thinking about suicide to know that you have noticed their pain. If you worry that someone you know may be suicidal, we have a few suggestions about how to help support them.
