I’m Australia‑based, and Learn How to Support a Suicidal Person / Suicide Prevention by Joel Young and David Sanders offered exceptional insight. Their explanations of risk, communication, and safe responses were clear, practical, and delivered with genuine care. With my lived experience as a carer and my current Community Services and AOD studies, the content felt highly relevant and strengthened the skills I’m building. The focus on boundaries, safety, and encouraging professional help was especially valuable. A concise, meaningful course that genuinely improves confidence in supporting someone experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Very useful! Jam packed with practical information to deal with realistic situation. The different Risk Level Assessment part is especially useful. And the enactment of how an actual therapist and suicidal person might interact provides such a valuable insight. Good job!

Two years ago I was engaged with a boy was plating soccer for a team owned by my son. His mother died and ye changed a lot. I started to engage with him to assit but he will agree and next time he started drifting away from me. At some point he had no food at home and one day during the game he collapsed. I asked what happened and he said that he had nothing to eat. We agreed that everyday before the game I will give him something to eat. That helped and I also asked him to come and get bread from. Me everyday and he stopped coming at some point. I gave him. Clothes a s I never saw him wearing them. I’m. Happy he went. Back to school now. With what I learned in this course I will handle things better than before. This is informative and hpful. Thanks

Very informative and useful. I used this course to top-up my skills and knowledge learned from previous courses, and I feel refreshed and ready to apply this information to appropriate future situations. The only critical feedback is in regards to the quality of the videos. In one section it was difficult to concentrate due to a seagull on the beach squawking, however the scenery was calming for the topic discussed. Thank you.

Thought it was going to be more of a formal powerpoint presentation (easier to take notes as i go through slide to slide) as appose to a video of someone just reading off a tablet. Very good information though i will say that!
