Suicide Prevention Training for Pharmacists | Webinar

Description
Suicide has a devastating impact on families, friends and whole
communities. Pharmacists, due to their role and their accessibility
in the community, have the potential to play a key role in
recognising the signs and symptoms of suicide, restricting means
and keeping the person safe until support is available.
This Suicide Prevention Training for Pharmacists is an interactive,
cased based workshop enabling peer discussion alongside the
development of practical skills to implement.
This training aims to increase pharmacists’ skills and confidence in:
• Recognising signs warranting further exploration for suicidality;
• Talking with someone who may display suicidal signs and symptoms;
• Understanding of the various referral options.
