1) Poster for TRICKY conversation values around suicide prevention.
2) How to have BRAVE Conversations.
3) The SIGNS of suicide distress.
4) The GLASS EMPTY brochure - a supportive guide for suicide prevention.

Step 1
Download, print and read the following posters. Then place them in a visible area for staff to see. Either in an easy to find folder for quick access or on a vacant wall available to staff.

Step 2
Download this Supportive Guide for Suicide Prevention, print and read it. It is designed to be double-sided to be printed on the short-edge option. This guide is to be given to someone in distress when they have deployed the GLASS EMPTY Signal and asked for help, or when they have discreetly handed over a GLASS EMPTY coaster to staff for a check-in.
This gives you some time between recognising when someone is in distress and when you are able to start a life-saving conversation to either get them feeling safe again (if you have the time to do so) or to find someone in the community who can assist.
