The W.E.A.N Community Centre aims to enhance its support services by integrating mental health first aid and suicide prevention training into its operations. The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive framework that will guide the organization in implementing these critical training programs. The project will involve researching best practices in mental health first aid and suicide prevention, and tailoring these practices to fit the specific needs of the W.E.A.N Community Centre. The framework will also include a protocol for handling suicide prevention calls, ensuring that staff are equipped to respond effectively and compassionately. This initiative seeks to empower the organization to better support its community, fostering a safer and more supportive environment for all.

Key tasks include:

• Answer calls from the suicide prevention line

- Conducting a literature review on mental health first aid and suicide prevention training.

- Developing a tailored training framework for the W.E.A.N Community Centre.

- Creating a protocol for responding to suicide prevention calls.

- Compiling a report with recommendations for implementation.

The deliverables for this project will include a detailed framework document outlining the mental health first aid and suicide prevention training program tailored for the W.E.A.N Community Centre. Additionally, a protocol guide for handling suicide prevention calls will be developed. The final deliverable will be a comprehensive report summarizing the research findings and providing actionable recommendations for the organization to implement the training and call response protocol effectively.
