A Psychological Approach to Understanding & Preventing Su***de (Free Training Modules)

We have developed a suite of learning modules on A Psychological Approach to Understanding and Preventing Su***de, funded by and in partnership with NHS Education Scotland.

The aim of these modules is to get to the heart of this most tragic of human outcomes, challenging myths and misunderstandings about su***de by bringing together people’s stories with the research evidence.

1. An overview of su***de
2. Risk & protective factors for su***de
3. The IMV model of su***de
4. What works to prevent suicidal behaviour
