One of the best ways to prevent suicide is by talking about it.

Our training courses give you safe, supported spaces to learn how to start difficult conversations and help someone at risk in the safest and most immediate way. Education is at the core of what Grassroots Suicide Prevention does, and our range of mental health and suicide prevention training is intended to help as many people as possible learn to help.

All our training is suitable for the public, but it is down to each individual learner to decide if they are ready and able to confront potentially challenging and upsetting topics. Most courses involve direct discussions about suicide, appropriate language, self-harm and asking about suicidal thoughts. Our approach helps to reduce stigma and help trainees tackle the topic of suicide head-on.

We understand if you are not ready, and we recommend looking at some of our other resources if you are struggling.
