START Suicide Prevention Skills Online

January 28, 2021 @ 9:28 am GMT

TRAINING DESCRIPTION

An online Interactive Suicide Prevention Programme, FREE to complete and made available in Ireland by the HSE National Office for Suicide Prevention

Most people are surprised to learn that by asking someone if they are thinking about suicide and listening to the response, they could help save a life. Suicide prevention training provides people with the lifesaving skills to help a family member, friend, colleague, patient or even a stranger they meet on the street.

Living Works Start is a 90 minute online interactive training programme that will give you the skills and knowledge to keep others safe from suicide. Living Works Start helps participants to identify people who are at risk, confidently ask them about the topic of suicide and connect them with resources that can help them stay safe.

It is a level 2 alertness skills programme and not as advanced as safe TALK or the two-day intervention skills workshop, ASIST however, due to Government Restriction, the ASIST training is postponed until further notice.
