“Wave after Wave” Suicide Bereavement Training

Staff and volunteers across Falkirk District are invited to take part in a new face-to-face learning opportunity being rolled out across Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP).

“Wave after Wave – Providing a Compassionate Response after Suicide Bereavement” has been co-produced with people with lived experience by Glasgow City HSCP, and is now being made available across Scotland. It is designed for staff, volunteers and peer supporters working in frontline roles across health, social care, emergency services, public health and the third sector.

The aim of the training is to ensure that anyone meeting people bereaved by suicide has a strong understanding of the complex nature and impact of suicide bereavement, and feels confident in providing a compassionate, empathetic response.

The Falkirk training takes place on:
