Training & Talks

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

If you are interested in commissioning a talk, workshop, or tailored training programme, please get in touch to discuss your organisation’s needs and pricing
