Suicide Prevention Training
The foundation. How to recognise the signs, how to ask the direct question without flinching, what to say and what never to say, and the exact steps that follow a disclosure. Built to replace panic with a plan.
The curriculum
Take the whole program, or start with the one module your team needs most. Each course is designed to be run together, in a room, with people who already know your congregation's names.
Core curriculum
These four courses make up the required path to becoming a SoulSafe Certified church.
The foundation. How to recognise the signs, how to ask the direct question without flinching, what to say and what never to say, and the exact steps that follow a disclosure. Built to replace panic with a plan.
What depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and suicidal ideation actually are — taught plainly, without stigma and without spiritualising away a medical reality. Your team stops guessing and starts understanding.
Turning good intentions into infrastructure: naming your point person, writing your disclosure protocol, setting confidentiality boundaries, and establishing local Christian counseling partnerships your congregation can actually afford.
Ministry burnout is not a side issue — it is how churches lose the very people who hold everyone else. Boundaries, self-care that is not selfish, and how leaders stay spiritually alive while walking through other people's darkest hours.
Specialist modules
Available à la carte alongside the core track, or on their own for churches not yet ready for full certification.
Supporting couples where one or both partners are struggling — and equipping spouses who are quietly carrying it alone.
What is different when the person in front of you is 12, 15, or 17 — including self-harm, social media, and mandatory reporting realities.
How a church cares for a family and a congregation after a suicide — and how to talk about it from the platform without causing harm.
Language from the pulpit that opens doors instead of closing them. What to say, what to stop saying, and how to normalise the conversation on a Sunday.
Addressing the belief that needing help is a failure of faith — a conversation many congregations have never had out loud.
A lighter yearly refresh for certified churches: updated practice, new research, team changes, and a check-in on how your care pathway is holding up.
Included with every course
Every SoulSafe course comes wrapped in the support that makes training actually stick — because information alone has never changed how a church behaves on a Tuesday afternoon when someone finally says it out loud.
Pricing
We price around your church rather than a fixed sticker price — it flexes with your size, your budget, and how many people you send. À la carte modules, full-program packages, and reduced rates for larger teams are all on the table. The first conversation is free.
