How does your organisation contribute to preventing suicide and supporting those affected by it?

We are passionate about delivering mental health training nationally via our bank of freelance trainers. We do this by offering courses and workshops to both the general public and to organisations and charities. This is done through organisations such as MHFA England and Scotland via their 2 day, 1 day and 1/2 day programmes, initiatives such as “Time to Talk” and through programmes such as ASIST. We are also currently bidding  to role out further MH programmes nationally.
