Suicide prevention: Ask, Tell animations
TW: mentions of suicide and self harm.
The Ask, Tell Animations are three educational videos that inform individuals working with adults about mental health.
These animations could be beneficial for staff working in support services at colleges, universities and students’ associations.
They cover:
- Understanding mental health and keeping mentally healthy.
- The factors that can lead to mental distress or mental ill-health.
- How to have compassionate conversations to support people who are experiencing mental distress or may be feeling suicidal and support them to seek help.
Although the animations can be viewed on their own, it would be recommended that these are viewed as part of a wider learning activity. Further resources related to suicide prevention can be found on the NHS Education for Scotland (NES) website. They also have a digital learning map which has a lot of resources which may also be useful.
The animations can be watched below.
