Organisations and institutions

Most people at risk speak to someone who is not a mental health professional first. Gatekeeper training makes sure that person knows what to do.

The programme combines the QPR framework with practice conversations, boundary setting, and the specific referral routes your organisation has in place, so that a difficult moment ends in a warm handover rather than silence.

  • Risk factors, protective factors and myths.
  • Practice conversations with clinical facilitators.
  • Confidentiality, boundaries and self-care for gatekeepers.
  • Building a referral and follow-up pathway that people actually use.
