Self-harm and Suicide Awareness and Prevention (TQUK Level 2 Certificate) (19+) — Online Learning
Course outline
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 recognise the signs of self-harm and suicidal thoughts, as well as how to approach an individual they believe is experiencing this. They will look at managing and minimising self-harm risk, and finally, how to support individuals dealing with grief after 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
This course can create a long-standing career pathway within the mental health care sector and increase your awareness of self-harm and suicide and be able to better support individuals on both a personal and professional level.
The engaging and interactive activities will stretch your thinking and help put your new, extended knowledge into practice
