Turning Challenges Into Opportunity: E-learning Training Modules for Suicide Prevention

The e-learning training modules are a solution to the issue of wanting to train staff who are scattered across a large health region. These modules give practitioners the opportunity to educate themselves more fully at their own speed. There are 6 modules in the Suicide Prevention program, each 1 taking between 15 & 30 minutes to complete. Topics include general information about suicide, how to assess risk, establishing rapport & understanding with the client, determining possible treatment methods, mobilizing other resources & choosing which treatment is best for the client.
