I deliver research-informed training and knowledge-sharing sessions designed to strengthen professional confidence, deepen understanding, and improve real-world responses to men at risk of suicide.
Over the past several years, I have led large-scale knowledge-sharing events across the UK and delivered training and webinars to diverse audiences, including:
- Public health teams
- Police forces
- NHS and Psychological therapy teams
- Third-sector and coporate organisations
Sessions are grounded in up-to-date research on male suicide risk and recovery factors, and focus on translating evidence into practical insight.
Training topics
- Practical frameworks for understanding suicide risk
- Evidence-based models of suicide risk and recovery
- Psychological pain, unmet core needs, and suicidal distress
- Masculinity, cultural norms, and male suicide vulnerability
- Childhood adversity and its long-term impact on male risk
- Help-seeking barriers
- Working effectively with men who are suicidal
Sessions can be delivered as:
- Keynote talks (45–60 minutes)
- Half-day workshops
- 1 or 2 full-day training
- Webinars and virtual sessions
- Bespoke programmes tailored to your organisation
