The programme teaches the individual to identify and give immediate support to a person in mental health crisis, who is contemplating or attempting suicide. The support would be given in the absence of a Suicide First Aider or mental health professional. The individual is given sufficient basic knowledge to enable them to cope until more qualified help arrives, and to exercise self-care. The programme promotes population-based suicide prevention and is therefore open to all.
