SUICIDE PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION
Be the difference between crisis and care, despair and hope.
About
Suicide often enters our work at moments of deep pain and vulnerability. No checklist can capture the full complexity of a life in crisis. This course invites you to move beyond risk and into relationship—where presence, trust, and compassion become your most powerful tools.
"Suicide is not best understood as a desire to die, but as a desire to end psychological pain."
