Understanding Suicide Prevention: Working Aged Men

The next FREE workshop is on 11th March 2026 at the Apex, Bury St Edmunds from 9.30 am to 3.30 pm and will cover the warning signs men may project when experiencing a mental health crisis and teach ways to start conversations around the topic.

Reserve your place by contacting workplacewellbeing@suffolkmind.org.uk

eLearning Training Opportunity

You don’t need to be a clinician or an expert to complete this training - you just need to care.

The training is about connection, compassion, giving time and using active listening to help someone feel understood and supported.

A safety plan is like a mental health first aid toolkit that you can help someone create when they’re feeling overwhelmed, distressed, anxious or low. It gives them something clear and practical to turn to when things feel tough and helps you feel more confident about supporting them.

If you are a friend, colleague, family member, or professional you can help to complete a safety plan with somebody.
