Suicidal Ideation in Young People
With Katherine Thompson
In this workshop we will be exploring risk factors for suicide in young people, how to identify risk, explore our own personal attitude to suicide, and how to intervene and keep someone safe. We will reflect on how faith intersects with this difficult and confronting topic, and how the Church has stigmatised this mental health issue. Participants will feel more confident in how to discuss suicidal ideation with young people in a positive and non-judgemental way.
REGISTER BY 13th May
Zoom links will be sent out closer to the date.
For those who register, recordings and slides will be sent out after the event.
