10 September was suicide prevention day and as part of this year’s campaign Health Education England (HEE) launched a suite of new education and learning resources and training modules which can be accessed by organisations to support the mental well-being of staff, learners and service users. These free resources are available through the ‘Minded’ platform and have been designed for those who volunteer, work or are studying to work with infants, children, teenagers or adults and it has modules relevant to health, social care, education, criminal justice and community settings.
