Our work in suicide prevention

The dissemination of information and resources plays a vital role in supporting mental health and wellbeing. This includes providing CBT training for all employees to equip them with essential skills and knowledge. Staff also benefit from access to an in-house Counselling and Trauma Service, offering professional counselling to support their mental health needs. A trauma prevention protocol is in place to address and mitigate the impact of traumatic experiences, alongside a Mental Health First Aider scheme to ensure staff have trained colleagues to turn to for support when needed.
