Suicide Awareness Training Session

The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust is delighted to be offering a half day suicide awareness training session in partnership with Calderdale Council.

The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust (CWMT) was set up in 1997 in memory of Charlie Waller, a young man who took his own life whilst suffering from depression. CWMT raises awareness of depression and fights stigma, provides training to schools, universities, workplaces, GPs and nurses, and encourages those who may be depressed to seek help.

Visit www.cwmt.org.uk for further information.

Their vision is of a world where people understand and talk openly about depression, where young people know how to maintain wellbeing, and where the most appropriate treatment is available to everyone who needs it.

Session aims:

• Provide an overview of mental health, definition, facts and figures
• Explore self-harm and suicide
• Practical strategies and useful resources (including local services)
• Opportunity to ask questions
