Preventing Suicide and Homicide: Tools That Make a Difference
Resources to equip you with the knowledge and tools to help prevent harm and save lives.
Welcome to your hub for practical, easy-to-use resources focused on suicide and homicide prevention.
Here you’ll find a short, powerful video toolkit that breaks down key prevention strategies in a way that’s fast, clear, and easy to apply. It’s designed to help you act with confidence when it matters most.
You also have access to the SMIT (Six Minute Intensive Training) slideshow — a step-by-step guide that walks you through how to recognise warning signs and respond effectively to risk.
