Most people in the professional realm need to have this training as an essential. We need people to have conversations that explore how suicide has come about or how the challenging situation has come about and and through this exploration that we may identify the support that is keeping them here. This supporting-life find is imperative in their journey going forward under safekeeping parameters with safety supports in place. Whether you can afford 1 day or 2, both these workshops are highly recommended.

Suicide to HOPE

The intention of a safety plan is to keep people safe from suicide or from risk. This doesn't resolve the problem.  The next part of their journey is to recover from this, to learn and growth.  This requires a very structure conversation around supporting-life.  There are many creative ways of supporting someone along this journey, however, it cannot start until we are able to help the person understand how this has all come about. Suicide2hope is the a route hope restoration to support-life.
