Suicide Awareness and Prevention Workshop

About the event

Sadly many people in the creative industries live with poor mental health, and the number of people considering taking their lives in the sector is much higher than the workforce in general.

This interactive workshop is aimed at those working in the creative industries in Wales, especially if you’re in a supportive or supervisory/management role e.g. Wellbeing Facilitators, Mental Health First Aiders, Mentors, Union Representatives, Heads of Departments, Producers, Employers etc.

Workshop content

The Suicide Awareness and Prevention course has been designed to enable you to identify signs that someone is thinking of suicide, and to give you the confidence to help support them.
