As part of the Greater London AuthorityÂ’s Hong Kong Integration Programme, Papyrus and Hearth Talk have collaborated for the first time to co-produce a unique and critical suicide prevention training that will educate participants on how to have culturally conscious and sensitive conversations with Hong Kongers who are contemplating suicide.

There is now a fantastic opportunity to take part in further training. Papyrus are pleased to announce they will be running the following training sessions in early 2024:

16^th January 2024 5:15pm until 6:45pm for Hong Kongers and Hong Kong organisations: SP-OT training Suicide Prevention Overview Tutorial. What EVERYONE needs to know. Please sign up here https://www.papyrus-uk.org/training/es-hearth-talk-sp-ot-4/

Plus two fully funded ASIST courses, in January and February 2024.

ASIST is a two day, in person, suicide first aid course. It is delivered and implemented worldwide, and World Health Organisation approved. You can find out more about it here: https://www.papyrus-uk.org/asist/
