The Academy

We are Harmless' specialist training department

Write your awesome label here.

From humble beginnings, the organisation has grown into a thriving service staffed by an experienced and specialist team.

During 2012, Harmless established The Tomorrow Project in response to a number of deaths by suicide in and around the community of East Leake. The project grew directly from the needs of the community and now provides suicide crisis and suicide bereavement support to those in distress.

Harmless has earned positions on many groups of influence and currently hold an elected position to the NICE committee on self harm and The National Suicide Prevention Advisory Group to Government. Working closely with academics and policy makers, we believe that we have a responsibility to drive policy change and service delivery across the UK. With passion, commitment and expertise, we work to bring about a safer future for the people that we help and to represent their voices.

Since its establishment, Harmless and its projects have been recognised with over twenty commendations and awards, including the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the East Midlands Community Impact Award and The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Award for the East Midlands.

The Academy at Harmless was established with the mission to equip individuals with the skills, confidence, and understanding needed to effectively support people. This natural progression saw us grow from 2 trainers within Let’s Talk Training to 4 training and educational officers, a contracts coordinator, a e-learning content creator, a manager, a chief officer, and a salesperson.

The Academy's commitment to continuous improvement is evident in its dedication to internal research and the ongoing refinement of its training content. The positive changes and impact I have witnessed are truly astounding. Our team's passion and combined expertise are reflected in everything we do and every presentation we share.

We can't wait for you to join us on this journey. 

Excellent training. Open, honest, interactive – and it incorporates real-life experiences to help understanding

I really appreciated the training package put together, and the interactive nature of the course, so as participants, we can learn from one another as well as the trainer.

Thank you to the trainer for sharing personal experience - I believe there is no stronger position to teach from than having been there.

This training was very helpful and covered so much in a short space. I usually have so much anxiety from feeling pressure to talk on screen during online training and I did not feel this today - thank you!
