Trafford Mental Health and Suicide Training Needs - 5 minute survey

Closes 9 Aug 2024

Opened 11 Jul 2024

Overview

Every year in Trafford, on average, 15 people die by suicide. Every death is a tragic loss to life that impacts family, friends and colleagues. As part of our suicide prevention strategy, we are committed to making Trafford a place where suicide prevention is everyone’s business and where people should not feel like suicide is their only option.

Two key priorities of the Suicide Prevention Partnership Board are to ensure our workforce and residents feel confident and skilled to have conversations around mental health and suicide, and to provide appropriate information, signposting and support for mental wellbeing and suicide prevention.

This survey is aimed at all of Trafford’s workforce who work on the frontline with residents. The purpose of this survey is to help us understand how confident and skilled our workforce are on these topics to help inform how we target any future training opportunities.

If you or someone you know has experienced suicidal feelings or have been impacted by suicide, there is help available.
