“I wanted to say the training delivered to the team managers at First Source was excellent. The staff have said they found the training enjoyable and the delivery by the trainers was first class. I’ve been approached by some team managers who have said the programme has totally changed their outlook on the issue of suicide. I think PIPS is an excellent organisation- keep up the good work!”
- Paula McGleenan, HR Manager
“The PIPS Schools Programme was very worthwhile. It was very well organised and delivery was excellent. I think that every person who works with young people should attend the course, because it could make the difference for a young person’s life.”
“I found the programme to be extremely helpful in identifying and solving issues surrounding suicide. I am confident I can now offer assistance with people considering suicide.”
“I feel that the two day training course was excellent. The resources and information was very informative. I feel it was pitched at the correct level and would strongly recommend it to others.”
‘The Preventing suicide in Schools Training was an opportunity for the school staff to take a day to consider an issue that is of considerable concern to everyone. The training provided information and a structure to enable staff to feel more able to prevent suicide and protect young people and others.”
- Clare Nic Lochlainn, Coordinator for Extended Schools
‘The training was presented in a very efficient and sensitive manner and all participants found it to be very informative and helpful. The incidence of suicide is very high, especially among young people in our area and recipients of the training felt that it helped them to be better able to look out for signs and empathise with people who are feeling low and in need of some support.”
