Course Overview
Course Overview
The suicide rate for men in England
and Wales is at its highest rate in two decades. With an ‘alarming’ rise in
self-harm also reported in England, it is clear that raising awareness and
support around these issues is vital.
The qualification has been designed to
examine all areas surrounding these sensitive topics. Learners will discover how
to recognise the signs of self-harm and suicidal thoughts, as well as how to
approach an individual they believe is experiencing this. They will look at
managing and minimising self-harm risk, and finally, how to support individuals
dealing with grief after suicide.
