When Conversation Turns to Suicide

When Conversation Turns to Suicide is a training for providers, peer supporters, family, friends and others in the community who want to build understanding, and develop skills to aid them in more effectively supporting others who might be struggling with suicidal thoughts.

This training is rooted in the ‘Alternatives to Suicide’ approach and offers an alternative to more medicalized suicide prevention and related programs such as QPR, ASIST, and Mental Health First Aid  (MHFA) that tend to emphasize largely ineffective and potentially harmful assessment and referral strategies.
