Best Practice Suicide Prevention Education

KEYS 365 provides cost-free, interactive suicide prevention workshops in a community-building, group format. With focus on early intervention, workshops are dynamically designed to introduce life-saving suicide prevention skills. Key elements of offering support, through impactful connections, are presented by a certified suicide prevention trainer.

Communities are empowered with the basic tools to:

 

  • recognize warning signs and risk factors

  • understand recommended suicide prevention verbiage

  • practice guidelines for listening and engage in open discussions 

  • learn ideas for fostering hope and help-seeking behaviors

 

Optionally, KEYS 365 includes select members of participating groups to incorporate a peer-to-peer element.  Peer involvement in facilitating workshops supports open communication and helps to remove shame and stigma for those in need of support.

Self-Care & Resilience Techniques

KEYS 365 offers self-care techniques tailored to the group participating, for example: simple yoga exercises, short mediation practice, focused breathing exercises, posture poses, self-massage, hydration tools, relaxation techniques, inspirational self-talk, and correlating app information.
 
We all struggle, in different ways and at various times in our lives. Self-care is critical to building resilience. Learning and practicing self-care is essential to emotionally healthy communities.

Follow-Up Support and Resources

KEYS 365 provides communities with follow-up support for the implementation of tools and techniques presented in the workshop. Additionally, a curated list of resources is available on our website.

Those in need of support, often delay or do not access assistance due to the unknown elements involved in reaching out. Connecting with resources at the earliest point possible is critical. To facilitate access, the KEYS 365 Resource List provides a brief, up-to-date description of each organization.
