Multi-Agency Suicide Prevention Simulation training is a unique simulation training package for all staff involved in mental health crisis care. By increasing collaboration and knowledge, it equips staff to respond quickly and appropriately to improve patient experience.

By bringing together the relevant agencies with a shared commitment to improve the system, our aim is that people in mental health crisis get the support they need.

Using an immersive simulation technique, simulation training offers a supportive learning environment to explore problem solving and decision-making skills, where mistakes can be made with no long-term consequences.

Multi-Agency participants are presented with a series of real-life situations facilitated by a panel of mental health professionals.

Training Outcome

Attendees will be able to take their learning forward with a clear understanding of each other’s roles, ensuring every agency in the crisis pathway can respond quickly and effectively with the knowledge of who should do what.

Experts by Experience

Central to the training initiative is the vital role played by ‘experts by experience’ – people with lived experience of mental healthcare who are dedicated to improving the systems they have been through in the past.

The panel of experts providing support to training participants always includes a member of the Expert by Experience group.
