Title:

MindEd Staying Safe from Suicide

Description:

The learning in this program is divided into 4 courses that are aligned with the Government’s 5-year Cross Sector National Suicide Prevention Strategy (Department of Health and Social Care (2023)).

We begin with the NHS Best Practice guidance, for all ages, called “Staying Safe from Suicide” published in 2025. The subsequent 3 courses support this guidance and are designed for specific age groups and settings like schools.

We aim to help everyone involved to better support people. This includes all front-line staff, for all ages and settings, NHS, care services, first responders, teachers, social workers, volunteers and parents. We offer both knowledge and skills building scenarios. All sessions can be used in workshop settings as well as single learner settings. The case scenario skills building sessions have specific workshop and blended learning support materials, including PDFs.

If you work for the NHS please register with your NHS email (it only takes a minute), this will mean that your certificate is personalised to you.
