DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – SpectraCare Health Systems is gauging community interest in hosting a free suicide prevention training workshop aimed at equipping participants with life-saving intervention skills.
The training is part of the Zero Suicide initiative and will be a two-day, in-person class featuring audiovisuals, discussions, and hands-on simulations. Before dates and locations are finalized, organizers are seeking to measure how many individuals, businesses, or organizations would like to attend.
The course is designed to help attendees recognize when someone may be experiencing suicidal thoughts and learn how to intervene effectively. Participants will also learn to create safety plans and connect individuals to needed support.
The training will explore how personal and community attitudes toward suicide can influence someone’s willingness to seek help—and how that impacts the support they receive.
