Invest in Life-Saving Skills Without the Financial Burden
At TOUGH TO TALK, we recognize that not every organization or community has the resources to afford crucial suicide first-aid training. That's why, in partnership with NCPET and the City and Guilds, we're proud to offer bursaries that subsidize this essential training for male-dominated environments. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and fundraisers, we can provide a limited number of male-only suicide first aid courses at a reduced cost or no cost to eligible organizations.
