Junah Ltd exists to advance suicide prevention, intervention, postvention and support for all people affected by suicide in organisations across the UK, through providing trauma-informed, evidence based training. We aim to create suicide-safer organisations, promoting psychologically healthy environments, equipped to actively promote positive wellbeing, create safety to talk openly about suicide, encouraging sharing and help-seeking behaviour. We aim to provide organisations with the skills to respond confidently and compassionately to suicide.

"organisational suicide prevention programmes can have a positive impact on attitudes and beliefs towards suicide as well reducing the risk of suicide. They are an investment, and an insurance against the potentially devastating costs of preventable suicide deaths and the wide and deep ripple effect


BSI 30480, Suicide and the workplace DRAFT July 2025

This one day course takes learners through three core areas:

The training begins with an understanding of mental health and wellbeing, including risk and protective factors and the impact of stress. 

Learners reflect on how we can create a supportive and mentally healthy organisation, taking into account influencing factors and how an organisation responds to them. 

The training helps learners to understand where suicide comes from and how we can challenge stigma and myths. 

Our primary goal is to reduce the risk of suicide and provide hope.

This training supports learners to consider warning signs and how we can respond to a person experiencing thoughts of suicide using our 4-step approach CARE model. We consider language, appropriate questions and responses and safety for all. Case studies are used to put our learning into practice.

Postvention is predominantly the vital support provided to those impacted by loss through suicide and organisations can have a crucial role in this. 

We take postvention further.  We want to ensure that organisations know how to respond after suicide behaviour, such as when an employee returns to work/study after a suicide attempt, and how we support those who are supporting others. 

‘Suicide is everybody’s business. 

Everyone should feel they have the confidence and skills to play their part in preventing suicides – not just those who work in mental health and/or suicide prevention directly – and take action to prevent suicides within and outside of health settings’
