TunisiaEUPOL COPPS concluded a two-day workshop on “Mental First Aid and Suicide Prevention”
EUPOL COPPS concluded a two-day workshop for 22 Palestinian Civil Police officers (PCP) on “Mental First Aid and Suicide Prevention” to instruct on mental health problems and respond to people experiencing such conditions.
The participants from Family and Juvenile Protection Department (FJPD) learned the common risk factors and warning signs of a suicidal person and how as first responders the FJPD officers could help them.
During the workshop, two Canadian Police officers with experience in suicide prevention — Cindy Bowring and Leanne Butler — presented to the attendees an action plan to be able to support someone with a mental illness or who develops the signs and symptoms of an emotional crisis.
They also showed them how to deal with suicidal victims, traumatized women and girls, psychological shocks and debriefing for officers.
