Suicide First Aid USI Understanding Suicide Intervention
The Suicide First Aid through Understanding Suicide Intervention (USI) course gives learners the knowledge and tools to understand that suicide is one of the most preventable causes of death.
It covers some of the causes of suicidal thinking and how someone can move from thoughts of suicide to taking action and how to intervene at each step.
The training provides more advanced skills that can help someone with thoughts of suicide stay safe and stay alive while they access additional help in the community through referral to appropriate agencies.
