Summer is the perfect time to help them feel excited and confident about their new adventure!

🤝 Working Together to Support Our Young People 💚

Belvoir Youth Centre is delighted to be working in partnership with PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Su***de to strengthen the support available for our young people and to provide valuable training opportunities for our staff and families.

We are pleased to offer SPOT Training (Su***de Prevention Overview Training) for parents and guardians.

What is SPOT Training?
SPOT is a 90-minute CPD-certified awareness session designed to help adults:

* Recognise the signs that a young person may be struggling with their mental health or experiencing thoughts of su***de.
* Build confidence in starting supportive conversations.
* Learn how to respond appropriately and safely.
* Understand where to access professional help and support.
* Gain practical knowledge to help keep young people safe.

This is a fantastic opportunity for parents and guardians to develop their awareness and learn skills that could make a real difference in a young person’s life.

📱 Please scan the QR code or use the link below to let us know which training time would suit you best (morning, afternoon, or evening). Once we have gathered responses, we will contact you with the training date and registration details.
