Wesley LifeForce is strengthening communities and saving lives from suicide
-
I highly recommend everyone I know attend the Wesley LifeForce Suicide Prevention Training. This workshop is extremely informative and important. -
It's invaluable, personally and professionally, to understand and feel like you have the tools to initiate the conversation no matter who the person is, so you can support them to seek help.
-
The structure and throughness of the workshop, plus the pace that the faciliatator kept, made sure we were all comfortable with the last section before moving on to each new section.
