Managing the impact of suicide: colleagues, clients and society
The security sector is uniquely exposed to the impacts of suicide. A significant proportion of workers in the sector are ostensibly at higher risk; namely, men, who receive low pay, and have low job security. In addition to being the potential victims of suicide, and suicide bereavement, some workers in the industry will be exposed to or be expected to respond to suicides as part of their job role. This webinar looks at the far-reaching impact of suicide, the need for employers to be aware of training needs for those who are at risk of being exposed to suicide, and the needs of employees who are either directly bereaved by suicide, or exposed to suicide as a result of their role. This webinar will cover:
In what ways is Covid-19 impacting on managing the risks of suicides?
How effective are current suicide management approaches?
What do employers need to know about the impact of suicide on their workforce?
Panellists:
Doreen Marshall, PhD – Vice President, Mission Engagement at American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
Dr. Sharon McDonnell – Director at Suicide Bereavement UK
Patrick Rea – Marketing Director at PTSD Resolution
Tim Woodhouse – Suicide Prevention Programme Manager at Kent County Council
