No prior experience or knowledge is required. Talking about suicide is likely to be emotive, especially for those who have been bereaved by suicide. Though all are welcome and encouraged to engage with the class this is not a therapeutic session. Participants should feel they are able to discuss suicide in a facilitated group.
