SUMMARY:💙 World Suicide Prevention Day 2026 - ZSA online training and information
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, World Suicide Prevention Day reminds us that each of us has a role in creating safer\, more supportive communities. This year\, we’re focusing on a simple but powerful truth: talking can save lives. \nWe’re hosting two linked online sessions on Thursday 10 September: \n\n10 to 11.30am – Webinar: Building a supportive narrative around suicide\n1 to 2.30pm – Virtual training: Suicide awareness and supportive conversations\n\nAcross these sessions\, we’ll explore how the way we talk about suicide shapes understanding\, reduces stigma\, and encourages people to seek help and we’ll build practical confidence in having supportive conversations. \nBoth sessions will include a live Q&A\, giving you space to ask questions\, explore real‑world challenges\, and build confidence in supportive communication. You’re welcome to join one or both. \nWhether you’re a professional\, volunteer\, community member\, or someone who wants to feel more equipped to support others\, you’re welcome. \nDetails on how to register and more information on what to expect can be found via this link – World Suicide Prevention Day – ZSA online events :: Zero Suicide Alliance
