Zero Suicide Alliance - Free Suicide Awareness Training

On the 10th September 2022, it is World Suicide Prevention Day

Let's Talk about Suicide and Make it a preventable death!

Thanks to Zero Suicide Alliance for providing training, evidence-based and interactive resources for supporting communities in preventing suicide.

Follow the three steps - SEE - SAY - SIGNPOST - to prevent suicide

Notice if someone looks tired or irritable. Ask the person if they are OK, we shall show our concerns and invite them to share their feelings. If through the conversation, we notice that the person does not feel that they belong to a family or a group, they feel like a burden. We need to identify the latter as a risk factor a person does not feel that they belong somewhere.

There are more information and cues in the training and I with all my heart invite you to complete it and share it with others.

I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.
