Training that resonates: September’s reach and response

September was a milestone month for our training initiatives. Our online courses were accessed 33,571 times, reflecting the growing commitment to learning and development across our community.

To mark World Suicide Prevention Day, we hosted the 2025 Train-a-thon, delivering three virtual training sessions to over 1,500 participants. These sessions tackled sensitive topics with compassion, expertise, and care. The feedback we received was nothing short of inspiring.
