Free Autism and Suicide Awareness Training

NHS Greater Manchester have provided funding to [Zero Suicide Alliance] to create a package of Autism and Suicide Awareness training. The training has been co-produced with people from the autistic community and aims to coach you through spotting the signs and supporting an autistic person by sharing real experiences and providing resources for further support.


This course is recommended for people aged 16 or over and particularly recommended if you are part of the autistic community or work with autistic people. The training can be taken at your own pace but could take up to an hour to complete.

Through the training, you will:-
• Understand more about some of the challenges autistic people may face and how these can contribute to suicidal thoughts.
• Be coached through four bespoke scenarios (you can choose how many you complete) to share how you can support someone.
• Know more about available support and resources.
• Receive a certificate on completion.
