Ealing campaign for World Suicide Prevention Day, 10th Sept 2023
Published on: 18 August 2023
In the run up to World Suicide Prevention Day on 10th September, Ealing Council is encouraging staff, partners and residents to take 20 minutes out of their day to do the online Zero Suicide Alliance Suicide Awareness training.  https://www.zerosuicidealliance.com/suicide-awareness-training
The training is very practical and uses 3 scenarios to help you:
·    Spot suicide warning signs
·    Have a conversation with someone you’re worried about
·    Know where to signpost to for further support
We’ll be promoting it as one small thing we can all do to support suicide prevention in Ealing. Once people have done the training, we’ll ask them to be photographed with the ‘pledge poster’.
We have produced a Ealing branded A3 poster (attached) and I’m currently getting these translated in to the top 5 languages spoken in Ealing and hard copies printed. We plan to promote through or social media and webpages over the coming weeks.
You can help by taking the training and have your photo taken with the poster. If you could encourage colleagues, partners, residents and other contacts to do the same and send their photos to publichealth@ealing.gov.uk that would be even better.
