Essential Skills for Mental Health Professionals: Suicidality and Self-Harm

Build your confidence in working with suicide and self-harm. At NFH Counselling & Consultancy, I offer customised training sessions tailored individuals, community, and voluntary organisations with a therapeutic and support focus.


This foundation training programme is dedicated to equipping participants with the essential skills and knowledge to recognise and respond effectively to the spectrum of suicidal presentations and self-harming behaviour.


The training covers a comprehensive range of topics, including risk assessment, intervention strategies, and best practices for supporting individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviours. Through interactive sessions and practical exercises, participants will gain invaluable insights and tools to enhance their ability to provide compassionate and effective care to those in need.
