Suicide Prevention & Intervention Trainings
Increase your awareness! Save a life!
Why Take Suicide Prevention Trainings?
Suicide prevention trainings are essential because they save lives. Many people—whether coworkers, clients, students, or loved ones—struggle in silence. Often, the signs of suicide risk go unnoticed or are misunderstood, leaving individuals without the support they need at critical moments.
From the global leaders in Suicide Prevention, including LivingWorks and EDC/Zero Suicide, Lotus offers evidence-based trainings designed to equip professionals and community members alike with the tools to recognize warning signs, respond appropriately, and connect individuals to the help they need.
Our trainings are listed in the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) Best Practices Registry, so you can be sure they align with the most current guidance on preventing suicide.
Whether you’re a clinician, educator, family member, peer, or support staff, learning how to assess and manage suicide risk can make the difference between crisis and recovery.
Need another reason? All of our trainings offer CEUs for most licensed professionals.
