In the UK, suicide is the leading cause of death in people aged between 15-24 and is the biggest killer of men under the age of 49 years. Over 12 people a week take their own life in London. If someone was in crisis, would you know what to say? This free online training hosted by Thrive LDN could make all the difference to someone in need.
Thrive LDN is a citywide movement to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all Londoners. It is supported by the Mayor of London and partners including the NHS in London, London Councils, London’s police forces, Transport for London, London Fire Brigade and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, alongside voluntary and community groups. The campaign aims to get 100,000 Londoners to take the free online suicide prevention training over the next 12 months.
The purpose of the training is to help you know what to do if a loved one, colleague or stranger is at risk of suicide. It's free, and only takes 20 minutes.
