Description
The goal of "Supporting People in Challenging Situations" training is to shift the focus away from traditional risk assessment and behavior control methods, and instead emphasize creating a non-judgmental, compassionate environment where individuals feel safe to open up about their challenges. Specifically, we will address the often-taboo topics of loss and grief, trauma and suicide—issues that can bring intense emotions and often require additional support.
