Suicide First Aid Training Success

We’re delighted to share the success of the Suicide First Aid courses, which were fully allocated throughout 2024.

Thanks to the Nationwide grant, we are thrilled to confirm that additional courses will be available in 2025. The demand for this training has been overwhelming, and the feedback we’ve received has been truly inspiring – it’s clear that these courses are making a real difference!

“A very informative and interesting session that has really made me think about suicide prevention and how I might be able to help someone who is struggling with their mental health.”

A huge thank you goes to Lisa van Os, training Coordinator at Mind in Gwent, and the wider team of trainers who worked so hard to make this all happen.

TSF would also like to say a special thank you to Jackie Williams, Senior Public Health Practitioner at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, for the incredible work she is undertaking in the Gwent area.

We also had the privilege of attending an amazing event organised by 4 Minds and Tidy Butt in collaboration with Dragons RFC. We hosted an exhibit stand and were joined by others showcasing the significant work that is going on with Men's Mental Health and wellbeing in Gwent.

We met some amazing organisations and charities and formed new relationships and partnerships, to continue making an impact with our work. Rhys Thomas and Matthew Creel delivered a powerful mental health presentation on the night.
