ZSA aims to break the stigma that surrounds suicide and enable leaders to drive meaningful action to help prevent suicide in the UK and beyond.
They provide free suicide awareness training that teaches people how to identify, understand and help someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts.
The Minds Matter content creators have been working with ZSA to produce a module specifically aimed at University students and individuals who work with this age group. The student content creators provided feedback on the scripts and different scenarios to ensure they were relatable to students as well as providing voice recordings and photographs used within the module.
