Webinar Description
Webinar Theme:
Some of the topics that will be discussed are outlined below:
  • Why a suicide safer school community?
  • Coming to terms with the idea that some young people in your care could be struggling with suicide?
  • People bring baggage with them to the community - both students, teachers and carers - how do we know?
  • Barriers to engage with a student or colleague - being ready, willing, and able - dealing with all the "What if's"
  • What suicidality looks like (this is not a suicide prevention webinar but about suicide prevention) - invitations to connect.
  • What a network of safety can look like in a Boarding school - work started at Somerville House - what we learned this far. 
Some of the experiences the LIVINGWORKS team have had with safeTALK and ASIST training amongst staff and students at Somerville House will also be discussed.
