Agir en Sentinelle pour la prévention du suicide
Population
Sentinels are volunteer adults trained to detect mental distress in their living environment and direct the person to help resources. They make it possible to reach people in distress who do not ask for the help they need. They are trained and supported by the CPSQ, and they benefit from all the tools needed to effectively fulfill their role.
Clientele : General public, companies, organizations
Length : 7 hours
Objectives – By the end of the training, the participant :
- will be better equipped to recognize signs of mental distress.
- will be able to act with the needed proactivity during an initial contact with a person in potentially suicidal distress.
- will know how to question the suicidal thoughts of a person in distress.
- will be familiar with the reference resources within their Sentinel network.
*A refresher for the Agir en Sentinelle pour la prévention du suicide training is available. Taking it two years after receiving your training is recommended.
What support is provided to the Sentinels ?
Each Sentinel network is assigned a designated practitioner who is available 24/7 and will make the appropriate decisions about the person in distress. The designated practitioner also has the role of supporting Sentinels either before or after their actions.
