This course explores the complex, often misunderstood issues of self-harm and suicide among boys and men. While relevant to all, males face unique risks, pressures, and barriers that demand tailored responses.

Participants will gain insight into how distress manifests in males and is shaped by stigma, gender norms, and mental health literacy.

The course covers how to recognize signs, respond empathetically, and provide or signpost appropriate support. Combining clinical insight, lived experience, case studies, and practical tools, this training equips professionals to better support boys and men - ultimately strengthening prevention and intervention efforts.
