Latest ESSCP Training (March 2022)

(You can choose to attend both the working with under or over 16 courses, as contributing factors, ways to identify and engage and referral might be different)

The majority of those who die by suicide are not in contact with mental health services – they are right here in our community. Many children and young people, and their parents or carers, are either having thoughts of suicide, and an increasing number are attempting or even completing suicide.

These training sessions are aimed at all professionals in contact/working with families in East and West Sussex and Brighton and Hove who haven’t attended a Suicide awareness course in the last three years; including managers from East Sussex County Council Children’s Services Social Care, Early Help, Children’s Services Education, Schools, Adult Services, and Youth Offending Team. East Sussex Police, Health, Probation and the Voluntary and Independent sectors.

This live interactive training is being delivered via Zoom

Messages from practice and research highlights that children and adults who are care experienced have higher rates of physical, emotional, social, and educational need, and are more likely to experience homelessness, teenage pregnancy, prison and problems with their mental and emotional health. They are also more likely to die younger. The majority of children who enter care have suffered significant harm, neglect and trauma, and some are children who have travelled alone from their country of origin to seek asylum in UK.
