SAFE ‘Suicide Awareness For All’ Conference - Friday 23 March 2012
SAPT is pleased to host a free conference at the Mackworth Hotel, Derby DE22 4LY – see the flyer and application form. Aimed at agencies in the East Midlands, the conference will provide an opportunity to discuss how suicide awareness-raising and training can be useful for those who work with vulnerable people potentially at risk of suicide, and where (or whether) such awareness training fits with current health and wellbeing agendas. SAPT is grateful to NHS East Midlands for supporting this conference.
Please note that there is a capacity number for the conference, so advance booking is essential. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 29 February. Pending availability, all places will be confirmed by 5pm on Friday 2 March. |
Funded by the Big Lottery, the Suicide Awareness Partnership Training (SAPT) project offers free training in suicide awareness in the East Midland counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. We welcome you to our website and hope you will browse around and find something of interest.
Do you know that many people contemplate suicide at some point in their lives?
-
Do you know that suicide is the most common cause of death in men under 35?
-
Do you know that about 4,300 people take their own lives in England each year?
Talk about suicide can be a ‘difficult subject’, and this taboo can affect the way society reacts to or helps those who are in distress. Let’s break the silence and help save lives!
If you care about people; work with people; would like a valuable tool to help you if or when dealing with vulnerable people or anyone in distress; then our suicide awareness training sessions may be just for you.
If you want to attend a half-day suicide awareness training session, please check out our forthcoming training sessions or contact us if you want to discuss anything further. We hope to hear from you soon!
