Supporting Youth in Crisis – Preventing Suicide and Saving Lives

E-learning

10 November 2025 | Online - zoom, Hungary

An online webinar exploring how youth workers can understand and respond to suicide risk among young people. The session covers mental health first aid, trauma awareness, safe communication, and practitioner well-being.

How can we truly support young people in crisis – and be ready when it matters most?

This free 2-hours international webinar invites youth workers, educators, and helping professionals to strengthen their understanding and confidence in supporting young people in crisis and preventing suicide.

Together, we will explore:

  • The wider context of suicide and its links to mental health, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
  • Barriers to help-seeking and the unique role of youth work and community professionals as trusted sources of support
  • Mental health first aid: challenging misconceptions, bias, stigma, and cultural beliefs; understanding what to say and what not to say; ensuring immediate safety, appropriate follow-up, and longer-term support
  • The emotional and relational impact of supporting young people in distress, focusing on maintaining connection, boundaries, and well-being within teams and organisations
  • Support structures for practitioners: identifying existing supports, exploring what’s needed, and building a culture of self-care, reflection, and compassion

Additional info:

  • Delivered online (link will be sent to registered participants)
  • Open to all youth professionals and organisations especially to those working with young people with fewer opportunities
  • The webinar will be held between 11.00-13.00 CET
