Incredibly valuable and pertinent workshop. Extremely relevant to our work area. Every clinician would certainly benefit from this important training - thank you.

Very valuable as a "what next" tool for working with people experiencing chronic suicidality.

Thank you so much! I feel confident I can use tools gained to help someone at risk of suicide. I am more comfortable because we did lots of practice. This will benefit the families I work with.

Lively and fun training sessions. Never a dull moment.

A few days after taking the course and learning about "tells", a Facebook friend of mine posted a message saying that "they didn't want to go on" as well as some other cryptic sentences. I knew right away what to do, and took action by messaging them.  About 5 days later, they posted an update, letting us all know that after receiving our messages, they had gone to a crisis nurse at the hospital and spent 4 days there. They also said that they feel supported and want to live.

I am so happy I had this opportunity to put what I learned into action. To be part of something so meaningful. To witness this person choosing to live. 

Thank you so much for teaching me! I am very eager to take the next course ...
