It trains staff to the suicide alert - identify people who have thoughts of suicide. Understand the reasons behind thoughts of suicide and the reasons for living. Assess risk and safety - develop a plan to increase the safety of the person at risk of suicide. Recognise invitations for help and potential barriers of seeking help.
