Сертификат 2 уровня по Осведомленности и Профилактике Самоповреждения и Самоубийств

The suicide rate for men in England and Wales is at its highest rate in two decades. With an ‘alarming’ rise in self-harm also reported in England, it is clear that raising awareness and support around these issues is vital.

The Level 2 Certificate in Self-harm and Suicide Awareness and Prevention qualification has been designed to examine all areas surrounding these sensitive topics. Learners will discover how to recognize the signs of self-harm and suicidal thoughts and how to approach an individual they believe is experiencing this. They will look at managing and minimizing self-harm risk, and finally, how to support individuals dealing with grief after suicide.

This course is comprised of three units: Introduction to suicide and self-harm awareness, Recognising the signs of suicide and self-harm in individuals and the principles of suicide and self-harm prevention, and Support for individuals when dealing with grief after suicide.

This qualification is aimed at anyone seeking to improve their understanding and awareness of suicide and self-harm. The knowledge

individuals will gain is not sector-specific but can be applied to a broad range of personal and professional situations.

Individuals who may find this course useful to their professional life include teachers, mental health workers, crisis helpline volunteers, support workers, individuals in a safeguarding role, parents or guardians, and others working with individuals who may be at increased risk of self-harm or suicide.

This course is split into four manageable units:

Unit 1: Introduction to suicide and self-harm awareness

Unit 2: Recognising the signs of suicide and self-harm in individuals

Unit 3: Principles of suicide and self-harm prevention

Unit 4: Support for individuals when dealing with grief after suicide
