Suicide is everybody’s business and only by engaging everyone can a community become suicide-safer.
We have designed a suite of suicide prevention products to suit different needs and audiences with additional content from LivingWorks education.
Our training can be delivered directly to your organisation, group or workplace. Alternatively, you can attend a PAPYRUS organised workshop. These are all delivered across the UK.
