Suicide Awareness Training for the Autistic Community – Zero Suicide Alliance

This course has been developed for anyone to take the training, but we particularly recommend you take the training if you are part of the autistic community or work with autistic people. 

Co-produced with people from the autistic community, our Autism and Suicide Awareness Training aims to: 

  • Share information about autism and suicide risk. 
  • Share real experiences. 
  • Coach you through spotting the signs and supporting an autistic person with four different scenarios (you can choose which ones you want to complete). 
  • Share resources for further support. 

 

Who it’s for? 

This course is recommended for people aged 16 or over. 

 

What the training covers 

  • Understand more about some of the challenges autistic people may face and how these can contribute to suicidal thoughts. 
  • Be coached through four bespoke scenarios (you can choose how many you complete) to share how you can support someone. 
  • Know more about available support and resources. 

 

How long the training takes 

The training can be taken at your own pace but could take up to an hour to complete. 

 

At the end of the course, you’ll get a training certificate from Zero Suicide Alliance.
