Join us for an online session delivered by Hear 2 Help as part of National Safeguarding Adults Week.
Here to Help is a new project from SJOG which aims to raise awareness and provide information, advice and guidance regarding autism and suicidality across the Northeast.
People with autism are 9 times more likely to die by suicide than non-neurodiverse people.
Hear to Help work across all 5 Tees Valley regions (Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool, Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland). They work with autistic people 14+, and those who support them, including parents, carers and professionals.
By the end of the session, you should be able to:
- Identify helpful and unhelpful words to use when describing both autism and suicidality
- Identify 3 warning signs of suicidality distinct to autistic individuals.
- Explain how suicide risk assessments need to be adapted for autistic individuals
- Describe 2 strategies to support autistic individuals in crisis.
- Apply your learning to 3 case studies.
- Evaluate how you will change your practice based on today’s training.
