Coaching for Capacity

Suicide prevention is an essential consideration for any public-facing organisation, but it is not always fully understood or properly resourced.

Forth SPAN seeks to address both of these barriers to effective support by promoting suicide prevention approaches and facilitating free mental health, suicide prevention, and postvention training to anyone actively engaged in the community.
Forth SPAN will raise funds to cover the costs of delivery where necessary, and all training will be provided by accredited professionals.

This will build local capacity to provide appropriate mental health support – ensuring that voluntary organisations, community groups, and businesses in Queensferry and surrounding areas are equipped with skills and resources, are attuned to signs of suicidal behaviours, and are able to start appropriate conversations and signpost to further support where necessary.

We are a grassroots organisation with a mission to contribute to reducing deaths by suicide through targeted local approaches including: funding and facilitation of suicide prevention and mental health training and resources; supporting and promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.
