Committed to continuous development 💙

Last Friday, another CPI Safety Intervention Advanced Training was completed with some special guests attending this course, some of our own internal team - Anne-Marie Norton, Monica Byrnes, Victoria Humphries and Janine Murphy.

As we dip into Social Care through 1-Experience Group, its important our team understands the complexity and challenges faced daily in these roles while also remaining complaint to work within this sector. The training provided an opportunity to build on their existing knowledge and develop practical skills to support their work with our teams, clients and care services.

💙Conversations That Matter💙

To mark World Su***de Prevention Day, we welcomed Bill Dodds from MindWise to deliver Su***de Awareness Training to our team throughout September.

In these sessions, our colleagues learned how to recognise when someone may be struggling and how to approach supportive conversations more confidently. They also gained a deeper understanding of how we can all help reduce stigma and support those around us.

A huge thank you to Bill for sharing his knowledge and guidance with us, and to everyone who took part in the sessions. Opportunities like these help us continue to raise awareness, encourage open conversations, and create a more compassionate and supportive workplace for everyone.

As part of World Su***de Prevention Day, our colleagues also marked the occasion by lighting a candle in memory of those lost to su***de and in solidarity with those affected.🕯️

Our team also came together for a sunrise walk up Cavehill, creating a moment for reflection, connection and solidarity while continuing to raise awareness around su***de prevention.
