Pan Lancs & South Cumbria Suicide Prevention Training Engagement Event

The L&SC ICS wish to implement a training programme to increase capacity to support people to address the psycho-social determinants of their mental health within a whole system approach to mental health. The programme will increase community capacity for well-being by: • Improving the engagement of individuals, communities and health professionals in public mental health initiatives. • Increase resilience in communities and workplace settings in relation to mental health and suicide awareness. • Raise awareness of risk factors and high risk groups across the age spectrum. • Raise awareness of specialist interventions e.g. Cluster management • Reduce inequalities in accessing information and increasing awareness of the mental health and well-being and the Five Ways to well-being. • Reducing the number of people escalating through the mental health care pathway

The funding will be given as a grant to the successful provider.

The grant will be used to focus on, but not be limited to, the below groups: - Middle-aged men and Primary Care Support - Women with Perinatal Status - Children and Young People
