Suicide has a devastating impact on families, friends and whole communities.

• Recognising signs warranting further exploration for suicidality
• Talking with someone who may display suicidal signs and symptoms
• Understanding of the various referral options.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise the prevalence of suicide in the context of pharmacy
• Identify risk factors and warning signs of someone that may have suicidal thoughts
