Thank you to everyone who took part in the ZSA train-a-thon to mark World Suicide Prevention Day 2023

September 2023 saw the delivery of the ZSA train-a-thon to 1,300 people across the UK. Held over three sessions in the morning, afternoon and evening, the train-a-thon provided information surrounding suicide awareness and prevention; including a discussion around suicide, stigma, and language, the importance of being direct and a question and answer session with our training hosts.

More than £1,500 in donations was also raised from the ZSA event which will be used to support the essential work to develop training, resources and tools and ensure these are kept free and accessible.

Feedback shared that 93% strongly agreed or agreed that the training enhanced their knowledge.

Thank you for a truly enlightening and powerful session. Really thought provoking

Thank you again for everyone who got involved in supporting this event to increase awareness and help prevent suicide.
