Loneliness and social isolation matter. They influence our wellbeing, our confidence, and our sense of belonging.

Our training explores what they are, how they affect wellbeing, and how each of us can play a role in reducing them.

You’ll learn:
• The difference between loneliness and social isolation
• Risk factors and signs to look out for
• Practical ways to support someone you’re worried about
• Real life scenarios showing what supportive conversations can look like
• Where to find further help and resources
• A certificate on completion

Let’s build communities where no-one feels invisible. Take the training

We put a lot of care into creating training that feels true to life because when people can see a situation unfold, they feel more prepared to reach out, listen and support someone who may be struggling.

If you’ve already completed the training, sharing it with a colleague, friend or community group can make a real difference.

And if you haven’t yet, this feedback is a great reminder of what you can expect.

Together, we can help more people feel confident having potentially lifesaving conversations.

Our Prison and Suicide Awareness Training was developed with support from men who have served time in prison and is based on lived experience and suicide risk in an adult male prison environment.

It's FREE, can be taken at your own pace and shares information around risk during the different stages of prison life – entry into prison, life in prison and during the transition from prison to community 👇

Sometimes it’s the smallest moment that matters.

Cathy was out on a walk when she noticed a woman standing alone, looking lost in thought. Something felt ‘off’.

Because she’d taken our Suicide Awareness Training, she knew to slow down, check in and stay close.

That simple act of noticing helped someone reach safety.

Taxi and private hire drivers play a unique role in our communities, often connecting with people during their most vulnerable moments.

It’s not always easy to share how you’re feeling...especially when you feel expected to be okay.

But creating space for open, honest and non judgemental conversations can be life saving. It can give someone permission to say, “I’m not okay, and I need support.”

Our FREE online Healthcare Staff and Suicide Awareness Training recognises the increased suicide risk faced by healthcare workers and offers practical tips to help you start potentially life saving conversations.

You never know when you might need it. Be prepared. Take the training: https://t.co/qUXbYOQaG6

Many people speak about suicide because they’re overwhelmed, scared, or unsure how else to express their distress. Labelling that as 'attention‑seeking' can close the door when someone needs connection.

When we respond with curiosity and care, we help people feel seen and that can be life‑changing.

Sometimes the smallest gestures make the biggest difference. A smile. A message. A cup of tea.

As one person told us in our research survey wrote: “A friendly smile, a listening ear...these small gestures can make a significant impact.”

Our #SocialIsolation and #Loneliness Training explores simple, human ways to reduce loneliness for ourselves and others.

Because distress isn’t always visible, our everyday connections matter.

If something feels 'off' reaching out with kindness can make a real difference. Feeling noticed and cared for can be a protective factor in itself.
